E-TYPE Ding-Dong this is your Avon lady calling

Pretty hard to believe but there really was an Avon after-shave in a British Racing Green bottle that was in the shape of a E-Type. Coming from Avon it must have smelled like dogie poo. It was called "Deep Woods After Shave". On a related note Jaguar Cars have lent their name and logo to a MENS FRAGRANCE. I wonder what other marketing gimmick they will come up with. Definitely worth collecting and who knows maybe in another 50 years it will be worth mega $$$$$$$

Time capsule. Days when Jaguar had global panache

Watch these two videos on how sophisticated Jaguar was at marketing the E-Type. A combination of British pizazz, flair and a ton of "savoir faire". A bygone golden era never again to be equaled.
Update. A Fan wrote to tell us that when his father took delivery of a new 3.4 Mk II at the Factory,  sitting on the passenger seat were a dozen roses for his mother. What class!
