This is the Original Jaguar F-Type that Never Made It to Production



Long before the current F-Type, Jaguar was very close to launching a similar car that would have been the first true successor to the iconic E-Type. As the XJ-S failed to emulate the E-Type’s success, in 1980 Jaguar started developing the F-Type, codenamed XJ41 (coupe) and XJ42 (roadster).

The F-Type was supposed to use the underpinnings of the XJ40 sedan and to look like a modern reinterpretation of the E-Type. Signed off for production in July 1982 by Jaguar’s then owner British Leyland, the F-Type started taking shape, with a launch date set for March 1986.
