Car enthusiasts who enjoy building things as much as driving them have a few new reasons to make some space on their shelves. Lego has added three familiar British vehicles to its lineup. They are the classic Jaguar E-Type, the F-Type-based Project 7, and the Land Rover Defender. The new releases range from a detailed collector-focused model to a smaller Speed Champions set, giving fans of both classic and modern British machinery something to take home.
The Jaguar E-Type Is A Collector’s Dream
The centrepiece is the Lego Icons Jaguar E-Type, a 1,673-piece model inspired by the famous green E-Type known by its registration, 77 RW. The real car is notable for being the oldest surviving E-Type and the vehicle that Jaguar test driver Norman Dewis drove to the Geneva Motor Show in 1961.
Lego has put considerable attention into recreating the car’s details. The model features working steering, a foldable textile roof, an inline-six engine beneath the hood, and even a five-piece tool kit that can be stored in the trunk. It measures approximately 14.5 inches long, 5.5 inches wide, and 3.5 inches tall. The set is aimed at adult builders and collectors, with a price tag of $139.99. It is listed on the LEGO site as set number 11381.
Project 7 And Defender Share A Lego Box
Those looking for something smaller can opt for Lego Speed Champions set 77264, which pairs the Jaguar Project 7 with a Land Rover Defender. The 740-piece kit is designed for builders aged 10 and up and costs £44.99 (about $60) in the UK.
The Project 7 gets its distinctive racing stripes, rear wing and Jaguar badges, while the Defender arrives with large off-road wheels, a roof rack, ladder, spotlights and a detailed interior. Both vehicles also come with their own driver minifigures.
The pairing makes sense: one is a track-focused Jaguar sports car, while the other represents Land Rover’s rugged off-road heritage. Lego has made both sets available through its official store, although US pricing and availability should be checked separately.
This isn’t Lego’s first attempt at turning a Defender into a brick-built machine. The company previously released a much more elaborate Technic version, complete with working four-wheel drive and a functional gearbox. For anyone who prefers their automotive icons in miniature, these latest releases offer a different way to celebrate some of Britain’s most recognisable designs.
