Heritage 60
Edition
The rarest F-Type by production volume. Sherwood Green not offered on a Jaguar since the 1960s. 60 cars, hand-finished by SV Bespoke to mark the E-Type's diamond anniversary.
Heritage 60 Convertible — Sherwood Green not offered on a Jaguar since the 1960s
Sixty Years of the E-Type
The Heritage 60 Edition exists because of a specific date: March 1961, when Jaguar unveiled the E-Type at the Geneva Motor Show. Sixty years later, Jaguar marked the anniversary with two parallel programmes — the Jaguar Classic E-Type 60 Collection of restored originals, and the SV Bespoke Heritage 60 Edition F-Type. The two share badging. The connection is explicit.
E-Type and Heritage 60 Edition — the lineage made visible
E-Type debuts at Geneva Motor Show in March. Enzo Ferrari reportedly calls it 'the most beautiful car ever made.' Sherwood Green is among the original launch colours.
Series 1 E-Type production. The 3.8-litre straight-six and later 4.2-litre define the era. Sherwood Green is a period-correct colour throughout.
Series 2 E-Type. US safety regulations force changes to the front end. The original purity of the design begins to soften.
Series 3 E-Type. V12 engine, wider track, flared arches. The last E-Types are built in 1975. Production ends at 72,520 units.
E-Type's 60th anniversary. Jaguar Classic creates the E-Type 60 Collection — six restored matched pairs of 3.8-litre cars. The F-Type Heritage 60 Edition is announced to mark the occasion.
60 Heritage 60 Edition F-Types hand-finished by SV Bespoke. Sherwood Green returns to a Jaguar for the first time since the 1960s. Each car carries E-Type 60 badging shared with the Classic restoration programme.
SV Bespoke Specification
The Heritage 60 Edition's £25,000 premium over the standard F-Type R buys craftsmanship, exclusivity, and a colour that cannot be ordered anywhere else. Every detail was developed by SV Bespoke working alongside Jaguar Classic — the division responsible for restoring original E-Types.
Sherwood Green Paint
Recreated from original 1960s E-Type paint codes by SV Bespoke working with Jaguar Classic. Not available on any other F-Type or through the standard configurator. Applied as a solid (non-metallic) finish.
Caraway & Ebony Windsor Leather
Extended duo-tone interior in warm tan Caraway and Ebony. Caraway is exclusive to the Heritage 60 Edition. Windsor leather is a premium grade used across the SV Bespoke range. The extended specification covers the seats, door cards, and centre console.
Aluminium Console Finisher
Unique aluminium trim piece for the centre console, designed to reference the E-Type's rear-view mirror casing. Not available on any other F-Type variant.
E-Type 60 Badging
Commemorative E-Type 60th anniversary badges are shared with the Jaguar Classic E-Type 60 Collection — six restored matched pairs of original 1960s E-Types. The connection between the two programmes is explicit and documented.
Diamond-Turned Gloss Black Wheels
20-inch forged alloy wheels with a Diamond-Turned Gloss Black finish. The specific combination of finish and design is exclusive to the Heritage 60 Edition.
SV Bespoke Commissioning Plaque
A commissioning plaque in the cabin confirms the car was hand-finished by Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations. This is the primary provenance document within the car itself.

Technical Details
Known Issues
The Heritage 60 Edition shares its mechanical specification with the standard F-Type R, so the same V8-specific issues apply. Two issues are unique to this model: the Sherwood Green paint and the Caraway leather. Both require specialist knowledge to repair correctly.
Authenticity Checklist
With only 60 cars built, every Heritage 60 Edition should be verifiable. Items marked ESSENTIAL are the minimum required to confirm authenticity. A car missing multiple essential items warrants significant price reduction.
Present in the cabin. Confirms the car was hand-finished by Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations. Its absence is a significant red flag.
Verify paint depth readings are consistent across all panels. Any panel with significantly different readings has been resprayed.
The duo-tone Caraway/Ebony interior is exclusive to this model. Verify both colours are present and original.
The E-Type 60th anniversary logo should be embossed on both front seat headrests. This is a model-exclusive detail.
The E-Type mirror-inspired aluminium console finisher is unique to the Heritage 60. Check it is present and undamaged.
The specific wheel finish is exclusive to this model. Aftermarket replacements reduce originality.
Commemorative E-Type 60 badges are present on the exterior. Verify they are factory-applied, not dealer additions.
The bespoke floor mats with Caraway edging are a model-exclusive item. Their presence confirms original specification.
The SV Bespoke specification sheet and handover pack confirm the car's original specification and build details.
Heritage 60-specific treadplates are fitted to all four door sills. Check they are present and undamaged.

Buy or Walk Away?

- Sherwood Green is a colour that cannot be replicated on any other car
- Caraway leather and all interior details are exclusive to this model
- Direct E-Type lineage connection, documented and badged
- SV Bespoke provenance — hand-finished, not production line
- Values have depreciated from new prices — accessible entry point
- The facelift F-Type platform is the most refined generation
- 575hp AWD V8 — genuine performance, not just a cosmetic special
- Mechanically identical to the standard F-Type R — the premium is purely cosmetic
- Values have depreciated significantly from new prices
- No carbon ceramic brakes — unlike Project 7 and SVR
- Only 7–8 UK examples — very limited domestic market liquidity
- Sherwood Green paint damage is expensive and difficult to repair correctly
- Caraway leather shows wear and fading more readily than darker alternatives
- The F-Type R itself is not a rare car — the Heritage 60 premium requires documentation to justify
- No dedicated SVO performance upgrades — this is a cosmetic SV Bespoke car, not an SVO performance car
Buy it for what it is. Not for what it might become.
The Heritage 60 Edition is the most beautiful F-Type ever made. Sherwood Green on the facelift body is a combination that Jaguar's own designers called inevitable — and they were right. The Caraway interior is warm, distinctive, and unlike anything else in the F-Type range. These are not small things.
But the collector case is honest: this is a cosmetic SV Bespoke car, not a performance SVO car. It shares every mechanical component with the standard F-Type R. The premium is in the paint, the leather, and the 60 build plates. If those things matter to you — and they should, because they are genuinely rare and genuinely beautiful — then the current market prices represent fair value for a car that cannot be replicated.
Buy an exceptional example with full SV Bespoke documentation, original specification, and low mileage. Walk away from anything with paint damage, missing documentation, or a modified interior. The rarity only matters if the provenance is intact.
