Looking for the best way to display the LEGO® Icons Jaguar E-Type 11381 without taking up an entire shelf? A model-specific BrickNest wall mount turns the finished car into wall art while keeping its classic green bodywork and unmistakable silhouette on display.

This installation guide explains how to fit both BrickNest display options:

• Vertical wall mount: uses the least wall width
• Angled wall mount: creates a more dynamic view of the car

Both mounts are designed specifically for the LEGO Icons Jaguar E-Type set 11381 and include the required BrickNest mounting components, screws, wall plugs and instructions.

This guide is specifically for BrickNest Jaguar E-Type 11381 wall mounts. The vertical and angled products use different model-connection components, so follow the correct section for your mount.

Which Jaguar E-Type Wall Mount Should You Choose?

Vertical wall mount

The vertical wall mount positions the Jaguar E-Type upright, making it the best choice for a narrow wall or a display containing several LEGO cars.

Its compact mounting bracket connects to the dedicated crosspiece fitted beneath the front section of the model.

Best for:

• Using the least wall width
• Displaying multiple cars together
• Narrow walls and spaces between shelves
• A clean, organised collector display

Angled wall mount

The angled wall mount positions the Jaguar diagonally across the wall. This shows more of the vehicle’s side profile and gives the finished display a sense of movement.

It uses a wider model-specific adapter beneath the centre of the car, which connects to the main wall-mounted frame.

Best for:

• Creating a statement display
• Showing more of the car’s bodywork
• Filling a wider section of wall
• Offices, games rooms and collector spaces

Before Installing Your LEGO Jaguar E-Type Wall Mount

You will need:

• Your completed LEGO Icons Jaguar E-Type 11381
• The correct BrickNest vertical or angled mount
• The supplied model-connection parts
• Supplied screws and wall plugs
• Pencil
• Spirit level
• Drill and suitable drill bit
• Screwdriver
• A fixing method suitable for your wall

Check the model for loose pieces before turning it upside down. Work on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratching or damaging the green bodywork.

You should also check the intended drilling area for concealed pipes and electrical cables.

Identify Your BrickNest Mount

The angled Jaguar E-Type wall mount has a larger frame and a broad central model adapter. The shaped sections of the adapter are designed around the underside of set 11381.

The angled mount uses a broad central adapter and a larger supporting frame.

The vertical version uses a smaller wall bracket with two shaped retaining points. These receive the connection piece installed beneath the front of the Jaguar.

The compact vertical bracket holds the model using its dedicated underside connection.

Do not mix components from the two mount styles.

How to Install the Vertical Wall Mount

Step 1: Prepare the LEGO Jaguar E-Type

Place the completed Jaguar E-Type upside down on a soft surface. Support the bonnet and body as you turn it over, and make sure the roof, doors and other movable sections remain closed.

Locate the two connection points beneath the front section of the chassis, immediately behind the front axle area.

Step 2: Fit the Vertical Connection Piece

Position the supplied black crosspiece across the underside of the Jaguar as shown below.

The two holes in the crosspiece should line up with the corresponding connection points in the LEGO chassis. Make sure the part sits evenly across the vehicle and is facing in the same direction as the example image.

Fit the vertical connection piece across the underside behind the front axle and secure it through the two aligned holes.

Before continuing:

• Check that both connection points are engaged
• Make sure the crosspiece sits flat
• Confirm that it cannot slide from side to side
• Recheck the set number if the piece does not align naturally

You should not need to bend or force the mount into position.

Step 3: Choose the Wall Position

Hold the empty vertical wall bracket against the wall and decide where the Jaguar will be displayed.

Allow enough clearance above and below the bracket for the complete 37cm-long model. Leave additional room to lift the Jaguar on and off the mount.

Avoid positions where the car could be knocked by a door, chair or passing person.

Step 4: Mark the Fixing Holes

Use the holes in the back of the bracket to mark the drilling points with a pencil.

Check the bracket with a spirit level before drilling. Because the car will be displayed vertically, a small error at the bracket can become more noticeable across the full length of the model.

Step 5: Drill and Fit the Wall Plugs

Drill the marked points using a bit suitable for your wall.

Insert the supplied plugs if they are appropriate for the surface. Plasterboard and hollow walls may require specialist fixings instead of standard wall plugs.

Step 6: Secure the Vertical Bracket

Place the bracket over the prepared holes and install the screws through the two fixing points.

Tighten the screws evenly until the bracket sits firmly against the wall. Do not overtighten them.

Gently test the empty bracket. It should not rock, twist or pull away from the wall.

Step 7: Attach the Jaguar to the Vertical Mount

Hold the Jaguar securely with both hands and bring the underside connection piece towards the two retaining points on the wall bracket.

Align the connection piece with both sides of the bracket, then carefully lower or guide it into the shaped supports. Check that both sides are seated before gradually releasing the weight of the car.

Do not let go immediately. Keep one hand supporting the model while checking that:

• Both retaining points are engaged
• The connection piece is sitting evenly
• The mount remains tight against the wall
• The Jaguar does not move when touched lightly

Your LEGO Jaguar E-Type 11381 should now sit vertically against the wall, using considerably less wall width than an angled display.

How to Install the Angled Wall Mount

The angled mount uses two main parts:

1. A broad adapter fitted beneath the LEGO Jaguar E-Type

2. A larger frame secured to the wall

Step 1: Place the Jaguar Upside Down

Put the completed model upside down on a clean, padded surface. Support the front and rear of the car while turning it over.

Locate the central chassis area containing the long yellow and grey structural beams.

Step 2: Position the Angled Adapter

Place the broad adapter across the centre of the underside, as shown below.

The shaped sections and locating tabs should align around the central chassis structure. The adapter is designed for set 11381, so it should follow the available space beneath the model without pressing against the wheels or exterior bodywork.

Position the angled plate centrally beneath the Jaguar, aligning its shaped sections with the chassis.

Guide the adapter into position carefully. Check that:

• It sits centrally across the underside
• The locating sections engage on both sides
• It is not resting against a loose decorative element
• It lies flat and cannot slide freely
• No LEGO pieces are being forced out of position

If it does not fit naturally, remove it and check its direction before trying again.

Step 3: Select the Display Position

Hold the empty angled frame against the wall.

The completed Jaguar will extend diagonally beyond the mount, so check the full display area rather than judging the position from the frame alone.

Leave clearance around:

• The front and rear of the car
• Nearby shelves and picture frames
• Doors and cupboards
• Other wall-mounted LEGO models
• The space needed to attach and remove the car

Step 4: Mark and Drill the Wall

Use the wall-facing fixing holes to mark each drilling point.

Confirm the intended angle and position before drilling. Use a suitable detector to check for concealed cables and pipes.

Drill the holes and insert wall plugs or specialist fixings appropriate for your wall type.

Step 5: Fix the Angled Frame to the Wall

Position the angled frame over the prepared holes and insert the screws.

Tighten them evenly until the frame sits firmly against the wall. Avoid overtightening.

Test the frame before adding the Jaguar. It should remain stable when gently pulled or moved by hand.

Step 6: Attach the Jaguar E-Type

With the central adapter still securely fitted beneath the car, lift the Jaguar using both hands.

Align the adapter with the rails and retaining sections of the wall-mounted frame. Guide the model into position until the adapter is fully supported by the frame.

Continue supporting the car while checking the connection from both sides. Only release it when:

• The adapter is fully seated
• Both sides of the frame are engaged
• The car is positioned evenly
• The wall frame remains secure
• The model does not shift during a gentle check

The Jaguar should now sit diagonally on the wall, creating a more dynamic display of its bodywork and classic profile.

Vertical vs Angled Jaguar E-Type Wall Mount

Choose the vertical LEGO Jaguar E-Type wall mount when saving wall width is most important. Choose the angled Jaguar E-Type wall mount when you want to reveal more of the car and create a stronger focal point.

Choosing the Correct Wall Fixings

The supplied screws and plugs may be suitable for standard solid walls, but every installation surface is different.

Solid brick or masonry

Use a suitable masonry bit and correctly sized wall plugs.

Plasterboard

Use fixings designed specifically for plasterboard or secure the mount into a timber stud. Do not rely on ordinary wall plugs in a hollow plasterboard surface.

Timber

Use suitable wood screws of an appropriate length. Check that the fixing position is solid and free from concealed cables or pipework.

If you are unsure about the wall construction or fixing method, ask a suitably experienced person before mounting the model.

Final Safety Check

After installing either Jaguar E-Type 11381 wall mount:

1. Check that every wall screw is secure.
2. Confirm that the bracket or frame sits firmly against the wall.
3. Check the model-specific adapter beneath the Jaguar.
4. Make sure all retaining points are fully engaged.
5. Look for any LEGO pieces that may have loosened.
6. Support the car during the first gentle stability check.
7. Inspect the installation periodically.

Do not install the model directly over a bed, seat or area where someone regularly sits.

How to Remove the Jaguar E-Type From the Wall

Support the model with both hands before disengaging it.

For the vertical mount, carefully lift or guide the underside crosspiece out of the two retaining points.

For the angled mount, support the entire car and guide the central adapter out of the wall-mounted frame.

Never pull the model straight away from the wall or hold it by the roof, doors, bumpers or other decorative elements.

The model-specific connection piece can then be removed from the underside if you want to return the car to a shelf display.
