# This Jaguar E-Type Rear End Conceals a Fully Functional Wet Bar

When it comes to automobilia-based furniture, there's a fine line between a neat novelty and a show of tastelessness. [Engine bay jukeboxes](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/22674/a-jukebox-made-from-a-mercedes-benz-220se-is-for-sale>) and [drivable, street-legal couches](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/28311/watch-this-couch-drive-down-the-highway>)? The former. [Bugatti-branded vases](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/27348/bugatti-debuts-flamboyant-line-of-high-performance-furniture-for-millionaires>)? The latter. A cocktail station built into the lopped-off trunk of a Jaguar E-Type, like [the one that just popped up in Craigslist in Connecticut](<https://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/cto/d/shelton-jaguar-type-12-wetbar/7159847222.html>)? You be the judge.

This fully functional wet bar—that just means a bar with a small sink—was, per its seller, assembled from a 1972 E-Type's rear clip by "a restoration company" in the 1980s. Opening its trunk lid reveals a two-tiered floor, with cutouts for bottles and glassware, plus space for tools of the mixology trade—bar spoons, corkscrews, and jiggers. Hidden under the gas cap is a straw dispenser and embedded in its floor is a champagne bucket, for those romantic nights spent swearing at your race car.

Its current owner, who bought it in 2017, had the Jagu-bar's bodywork repainted the red it is today and fitted with an oak-backed custom mirror that fits the contours of the car bar.

"Being a single person, it's in my master bedroom," says the seller. "Ladies will think it's extremely romantic especially with the lights on besides it being a working wetbar \[sic\]!"

While taking dating advice on women from an admittedly single individual with a crest over their bed may be inadvisable, securing this thing as a refreshment stand for a garage with a tiled floor probably isn't—it'd be the ideal place to [whip up a Somaek Tesla](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/34763/koreas-trendy-tesla-cocktail-is-as-risky-as-falling-asleep-with-autopilot-on>). Just take into account that at 275 pounds, transporting this curio will definitely require a trailer or [truck](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/34859/i-drove-500-miles-to-buy-this-1963-international-work-truck>), and that at $3,500, there are cheaper ways to serve drinks. But there is, to paraphrase Regular Car Reviews, possibly none more *faunceh*.
