The Volkswagen Kombi van reached iconic status, with even a school lunch box fashioned in its image. During those early years, the Volkswagen Microbus morphed into various forms. From a cargo carrier with no windows behind the driver's seat to a windowed passenger van with three rows of seats, the possibilities seemed endless.

Classic Car Overview
By 1974, stricter safety and emissions laws in the United States---Jaguars primary export market---forced significant design updates:
- The Long Wheelbase: Jaguar dropped the short-wheelbase platform. The 1974 models were built exclusively on the longer 105-inch wheelbase, providing more legroom and a more compliant ride.
- Body Styles: Available only as an Open Two-Seater (OTS) Roadster. (Production of the fixed-roof 2+2 Coupe wrapped up in late 1973).
- Visual Identifiers: Recognized by its large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches to accommodate wider tires, and prominent rear V-12 badging.
- Impact Bumpers: U.S.-bound 1974 models feature distinctively large, black rubber bumper guards (overriders) on both the front and rear to comply with 5-mph crash mandates.
- Creature Comforts: Equipped with standard power steering, uprated power brakes, and often outfitted with factory air conditioning and chrome center-locking wire wheels.
In October 1974, Jaguar built the final 50 Commemorative Edition cars to mark the end of E-Type production. All but one were painted black, drawing a curtain on a legendary 14-year production run before the model was succeeded by the Jaguar XJS.
