Jaguar E-type Roadster Chassis 22

The striking dark blue 1961 Jaguar E-type Roadster Chassis 22 is the current Spotlight car in our upper gallery exhibition, Driven: Britain's Motoring Story.

Jaguar E-Type chassis 850022 occupies a unique place in the story of this legendary car. Completed on 5 May 1961, it was the 22nd right-hand drive E-Type produced, with the 43rd body and 52nd engine built. As one of the earliest examples created following the car’s dramatic debut at the Geneva Motor Show on 15 March 1961, it represents a significant moment in Jaguar’s history.

The car is on loan from its owner Marc Gordon until September 2026.
