Hot Wheels 1964 Jaguar E-Type: Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
Hot Wheels · 1:64 · two Red Line Club variations
The Hot Wheels 1964 Jaguar E-Type is a detailed Red Line Club casting with a long bonnet and an opening hood that reveals the engine. The 2023 British Racing Green and 2025 Spectraflame oxblood editions share that feature but differ in their cabin, glazing, wheels and rear plate.
HGK82 introduced the RLC casting in 2023 with Spectraflame British Racing Green, a tan interior, clear windows and Real Riders Oval Track Thin wheels. JCP68 followed in 2025 in Spectraflame oxblood, with a brown interior, light-smoke windows and Real Riders GT wheels with a silver VUM finish. The opening hood and engine detail are shared.
The gallery leads with loose-car photos of both releases. These identify the castings and decoration; they do not establish the condition of another example.
