Jaguar Marks Sports Car Anniversary with Final F-TYPE

Jaguar celebrates a significant milestone as the final Jaguar F-TYPE rolls off the production line at the brand’s manufacturing facility in Castle Bromwich. This marks 50 years to the day since the last Jaguar E-type left the production line, adding a new chapter to Jaguar's storied legacy.

A Tribute to Heritage

The final F-TYPE is a 5.0-litre V8 Convertible, elegantly finished in Giola Green with a black roof and a Tan Windsor leather interior. This setup mirrors the 5.3-litre V12 final E-type Series III Convertible built in 1974, famously registered as HDU 555N. This special F-TYPE will be handed over to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust (JDHT), joining its E-type predecessor in the official Jaguar Heritage collection.

End of an Era, Beginning of a New One

Both the F-TYPE and E-type mark the end of their production on almost the same day, signifying a transition to a new era. The last E-type in 1974 heralded the birth of the radical Jaguar XJ-S. Similarly, the final F-TYPE is produced as Jaguar prepares for an even bolder transformation with a four-door electric GT, set to be unveiled in 2025.

Legacy of the F-TYPE

Launched in 2013, the Jaguar F-TYPE was Jaguar’s first two-seat sports car in almost 40 years. It received universal acclaim and was named the 2013 World Car Design of the Year. The coupé version followed in 2014. Over its production run, 87,731 F-TYPEs have been built, with availability continuing until early 2025. JDHT records show that Jaguar produced 72,528 E-types, ending with a special run of 50 cars.

Future of Jaguar Sports Cars

As the final F-TYPE joins the JDHT at Gaydon alongside the last series XE, XF, and XF Sportbrake, Jaguar looks forward to an electrified future. The new four-door electric GT promises to carry the legacy of performance and innovation that Jaguar is known for.
