Nauticalia Genuine E-type Pin Badge

When the E-Type was launched in 1961 it was a masterpiece of innovation – the monocoque construction, aluminium body, independent suspension, and streamlined aerodynamics set a precedent for motorsport design for years to come. Famously declared ‘the most beautiful car in the world’ by Enzo Ferrari, the E-type also became a symbol of the glamour and excitement of the ‘swinging’ Sixties, and has been coveted by motoring enthusiasts ever since.

Amongst the most sought-after is the 1961 Series 1 fixed head coupe?, and it is from that model that this unique pin badge is derived. Whilst undergoing restoration at world-renowned Classic Motor Cars Ltd of Bridgnorth in Shropshire, a set of original aluminium pistons was removed and that material has now been combined with Sterling silver and expertly cast into this remarkable badge. Each is supplied with a certificate of authenticity and data card, and is presented in a high quality hinged box.

Superbly designed, made and hand finished in the UK by master jewellers and craftsmen, these products showcase the best of the British jewellery industry. Whether a gift for someone special, or a treat for yourself, this is a rare and exclusive item with unparalleled history and provenance.
