1970 Austin Powers "Shaguar" E-Type

Austin Powers' "shagadelic" Jaguar E-Type roadster first appeared in the original 1997 picture featuring Mike Myers as the thawed-out British secret agent. One of the most famous movie cars is Austin Powers' Jaguar E-Type.


Shaguar was made for the release of the first film in the series - "Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery" which appeared on the screens in 1997. Untranslatable pun - Shaguar is just a Jaguar that looks shagadelic (which roughly means: erotic to ridiculous, too sensual).


The car is hand painted under the British flag. The luxurious interior of the Jaguar E-Type Roadster is finished in blue and red leather. Under the hood of the car is the original 4.2-liter Jaguar engine. The car's popularity is so great that even its large-scale copies are produced.
