LEGO® Icons Jaguar E-Type (11381): the British icon in bricks
A long bonnet, classic green bodywork and wire-style rims: the LEGO® Icons Jaguar E-Type (11381) captures the features that made the British sports car a design icon. With 1,673 pieces, it is built for adults who enjoy both the construction and the finished display.
A brick-built 77 RW E-Type
The model is inspired by the famous E-Type registered 77 RW. Its streamlined silhouette, elegant curves and classic green finish are recreated at Icons scale. It offers more detail than a Speed Champions car while requiring less depth than a large Technic supercar.
The model measures over 37 cm long, 14 cm wide and 9 cm high, making it substantial without dominating an entire shelf.
Functions and details
Lift the bonnet to reveal the inline-six engine. The doors, boot and folding textile roof open, while the detailed cockpit includes working steering. The boot opens at the push of a button and stores a five-piece tool kit.
These details reward close inspection, although the car’s silhouette remains its strongest feature once displayed.

Why it works so well on display
The green bodywork contrasts beautifully with black, cream or pale grey. A front three-quarter angle highlights the long bonnet and wheels, while a side view shows the proportions more clearly. It pairs naturally with classic LEGO® cars such as the Porsche 911, Corvette or DeLorean.
The Kadris® Jaguar E-Type display is available
We have designed a wall display specifically for this reference. It frees shelf space and helps reduce dust build-up while presenting the car as part of the room. Explore the wall display for the Jaguar E-Type 11381 and choose your preferred finish.

LEGO® Icons Jaguar E-Type (11381): the British icon in bricks: what to check before buying and displaying
Quick answer: compare the assembled scale, width and length with your real display area, then choose the angle that best reveals the profile. Vehicle models are often photographed from a low three-quarter view, but the clean side view can be more effective for a permanent wall presentation.
Which details should remain visible?
Identify the feature that defines the model—its body line, cockpit, wheels, mechanical system or livery—and avoid surrounding it with objects that hide that feature. If the build includes steering, suspension, opening panels or a gearbox, decide whether those functions should stay accessible after installation.
How much room should be left around the model?
Measure the completed vehicle and add space for mirrors, wings, spoilers and any parts that extend beyond the main body. A small visual margin makes the composition feel intentional and reduces accidental contact. It also helps the model remain clear in photographs and short-form videos.
What is the best lighting for a display vehicle?
Soft side lighting brings out bodywork and brick-built texture. Strong direct light can create distracting reflections and may alter colours over time. A neutral or carefully coordinated background lets the livery stand out without competing with the car or motorcycle.
Is the LEGO® set included with a Kadris display?
No, unless the relevant product page explicitly says otherwise. Kadris supplies the compatible aluminium display, its mounting system and the selected finish. Sets and minifigures shown in photographs illustrate the possible result.
How should the model be protected over time?
Keep it away from direct sunlight, strong heat and narrow passageways. Vertical presentation can greatly limit dust accumulation compared with a crowded shelf, but it does not replace occasional gentle cleaning or a closed display case.
