Hot Wheels RLC 1964 Jaguar E-Type green #1

The Hot Wheels 1964 Jaguar E-Type, catalog number HGK82, is a collector’s model released as an RLC Exclusive, available only through the Red Line Club. This 1:64 scale replica is aimed at adult collectors and fans of British classics, distinguishing itself from standard toy cars with a metal base, rubber tires, Spectraflame paint, and an opening front body section. The production run for this release was limited to 30,000 units.

The 1964 Jaguar E-Type casting was designed by Lindsey Lee and debuted in this specific series in 2023, making the HGK82 the very first release of the casting. It replicates a signature feature of the original vehicle: the entire front body section tilts upward to reveal the engine bay. The model is finished in Spectraflame British Racing Green, a translucent, classic British racing green applied directly over polished metal, reserved for the brand's most exclusive releases. Details include refined headlights and taillights, along with a license plate reading "RLC-TYPE." The base is green-tinted chrome and made of metal, the windows are clear, and the interior is finished in beige, accurately capturing the leather upholstery of the original. The model rolls on D7RR wheels, which are Real Riders with rubber tires. The country of manufacture is China.

The prototype is the Jaguar E-Type, known in the American market as the XK-E—a front-mid-engine sports car produced from 1961 to 1974. The body was designed by Malcolm Sayer, who based the construction on the D-Type racing model: the front subframe, which carried the engine, suspension, and front bodywork, was bolted directly to the chassis—hence the tilting front end. Power was provided by a 3.8-liter XK inline-six engine delivering power to the rear axle. The E-Type regularly appears in lists of the most beautiful cars in history; 38,419 units of the Series 1 were produced.

For collectors, the HGK82 is a particularly desirable item: it is the debut release of the casting, has a known production run of 30,000 units, and features the most classic color combination possible—dark green with a beige interior. Red Line Club models do not enter standard retail distribution and immediately become items of collector trade.
