“Stolen Recovered Original” – Jaguar E-Type Coupe (1961)

Handmade Diorama Art by JJ Adams

JJ Adams breathes new life into an automotive legend with his latest entry in the “Stolen Recovered Original” series – a powerful fusion of nostalgia, rebellion, and fine craftsmanship. This one-of-a-kind piece reimagines the 1961 Jaguar E-Type Coupe as a forgotten icon, reclaimed from the edge of time and transformed into sculptural storytelling.

Inspired by JJ’s tongue-in-cheek narrative of “What happened to my stolen car?”, this artwork blends graffiti culture with gritty realism. The classic E-Type is meticulously hand-painted, distressed, and embellished to resemble a vehicle abandoned and reclaimed by nature – overgrown, marked by time, and tagged with urban defiance.

Built around a 1:18 scale die-cast model, this original piece includes imitation flora, scattered diorama elements, and a custom-made, hand-textured timber base designed to mimic cracked asphalt. The entire scene is housed within a bespoke crystal-clear acrylic display case with a solid black base, ensuring museum-quality presentation for your home or gallery.

Each piece is a certified original artwork, signed and authenticated by JJ Adams. No reproductions, no editions – just one singular statement piece.

Following the sold-out success of JJ’s previous cult car releases – including the Back to the Future DeLorean and Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 – this Jaguar is set to become a collector’s favourite.

Vintage elegance meets urban decay – automotive art, reimagined.
