Jaguar E-Type Open Two-Seater (XKE OTS/DHC) Roadster Original Colours supplied by John Skinner Ltd
It is widely accepted that the interpretation of original shades varies depending on who you ask – and may well have varied from the original factory production line. As a result, John Skinner Ltd offers multiple shade options for each original colour.
Colour names refer to internal John Skinner Ltd colour names, not necessarily the names Jaguar originally used for these colours.
We can also offer non-original custom colour schemes if you so desire. Please see our online shop for more details.
As part of the quotation/ordering process, we will arrange for samples to be sent for final confirmation – so browse and shop with complete peace of mind, knowing that we will guide you through step-by-step with all the information you require.
A note on Piping/Beading
Jaguar E Type models featured Piping matching the main trim colour. See the above Original Colours chart for more information.Â
We can also offer the largest range of non-standard “bespoke” colours schemes for those looking for a more customised finish.
