Story from Jam Press (Crystal Covered Jaguar) Pictured: The E-Type Jaguar, covered in Swarovski crystals, is made as a kids’ toy. E-Type Jaguar covered in Swarovski crystals for sale for just £15,000 An E-Type Jaguar, covered in Swarovski crystals, is set to sell at auction for just £15,000. The sparkly classic sports car looks just like the real thing. It took over 300 hours over two months to make. But there is a catch, it is half the size of the real thing and is made as a kids' toy. They are made as pedal cars, with an electric battery or have a petrol engine to power them. But with the latter, it can only do a top speed of 15mph, a lot less than the 153mph the real thing is capable of. However, it does come with over 100,000 Swarovski Xirus cut crystals on its bodywork. It is being sold by RM Sotheby’s at auction on 4 November. A Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “Fun doesn't always have to be full-sized. “Consider small and sparkly like this Crystal E-Type Children's Car available in our London auction.” The ‘Halfscale Cars Crystal E-Type Children's Car’ is tipped to sell for between £12,000 and £15,000. Halfscale Cars are based in Winchester, Hampshire. A spokesperson said: “Adorned in over 100,000 hand-applied Swarovski Xirius cut crystals, each individual car takes our dedicated team approximately two months to crystalize alone. “The car's design is a homage to the Series 1 model, with faired-in covered headlights, slim bumpers, and the small oval front grille. “The cabin is trimmed in plush velour suede, with a bench-style seat, and diamond-quilted panels on either side of the carpet on the floor. “It still has functional headlights and horns.” ENDS
