Jaguar E-Type





The Jaguar E-Type was my first paper car model to build. At that time I had no colored printer yet, so I just printed it in monochrome. I used old card stock that had been misprinted and just painted the paper car with poster paint. I got the templates from the Canon paper craft website and was so excited to have found it. 


The real Jaguar E-type is one of the most famous models produced by British sports car manufacturer Jaguar, that was founded in 1922. This model garnered high remarks at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 1961 featuring its low-set, streamlined appearance and state-of-the-art mechanics. The Series 1 first went on the market in 1961and sported an inline six-cylinder, 3.8 liter DOHC engine. Later In 1964, it was upgraded to a 4.2 liter. Several minor changes were made up until 1971 and resulted in the twin-six engine of the Series 3. In the US this model is known as the XK-E that enjoyed high levels of popularity. Although the E-type went off the market in 1975, its curved lines remained to influence designers, and is still well-loved by car enthusiasts world wide. This paper model is based on the E-type Series 1, a car that was first introduced in North America in 1967. It complied with the American safety standards of that time. It was known as the 11/2 because of its similarity to the Series 2. The new features in this model included forward positioning of the head
