After more than a decade in production, Jaguar's likeable F-type reaches the end of the road with the ZP Edition, and you'll forgive us for shedding a small tear at its demise.

We've always been a fan of the F-type here at RUSH, but we're also dabbing the tear ducts for a related reason - with a commitment to be all-electric by 2025, Jaguar has confirmed the F-type will be the firm's last ever petrol-powered sports car, bringing the curtain down on over 75 years of style and innovation. This is the brand that consistently pushed the supercar envelope with the XK120, XK150, XKSS, the XJ220 and XJR15. This is the brand that's won Le Mans seven times and gave us a long series of effortlessly cool getaway saloons. All that is before we even mention the E-type.

The only similarity the ZP Edition shares with some of the above is exclusivity - Jaguar is limiting production to just 150 coupes or convertibles, inspired by the successful racing E-types of 1961, which competed under the Project ZP banner. Out of that 150, just ten cars have been allocated to the UK market, and each one will carry a £30,000 premium over F-type R 75 upon which it's based. If you are keen on owning a piece of history, your Jaguar dealer will relieve you of £134,925 for a coupe - or if you prefer the wind in your hair - £138,390 for the roadster.

So what exactly do you get for the privilege? The evergreen 5.0 litre supercharged V8 pumps out the same 575 bhp and 700 nm of torque as the F-type R, while the drivetrain also uses the same all-wheel drive transmission and eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. Still, it's not like the F-type needs more power or performance - 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 186 mph is more than ample.

How about some chassis revisions to bring some extra sparkle to the handling? Sorry to disappoint again, but the Jaguar press release makes no mention of any changes - if some tweaking has gone on, Jaguar is ensuring it flies under the radar.
