Jaguar Model Club


1998 CLUB MODEL - E-Type V12 Series III - HDU 555N

The Jaguar Model Club yearly model for 1998 was the very famous last V12 E-type ever produced, HDU 555N  which was retained by Jaguar Cars Ltd. The last 50 real E-types were going to be all sprayed Black, but one was requested and painted in British Racing Green for the Robert Danny Collection, each of these 50 E-types had a brass plaque attached to the glove box, this carried that cars chassis number and inscription about the last cars to roll off the production line, also these had Sir William Lyons signature engraved on the plaque too. Provence Moulage were chosen again with their V12 Series III E-type being the best kit available to produce the models from. An exact copy of the glove box brass plaque was produced which is placed on each base of the 50 club models, a tiny plaque is also applied to the dashboards of each model. Other alterations to the standard kit was to alter each model to manual transmission and apply the HDU 555N registration plates front and rear. Out of the first set of five JMC models, this V12 E-type is the most requested by new members joining and at present there is a waiting list for any of these models should one become available.
