Jaguar Classic is reintroducing the original Jaguar E-type toolkit, making it available for the first time in nearly 50 years. The owner's toolkit was originally offered with Series 1 and Series 2 E-types and hasn't been available since the final Series 2 was produced in 1971. This has been a possibility because of access to engineering records, Jaguar Classic's Genuine Parts experts have been able to reproduce the toolkit to authentic specifications. The Jaguar branded tools come in a period-correct leatherette-covered canvas roll, and feature all items needed to carry out routine maintenance on the iconic sports car.
