1963 Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Recreation

Car Highlights

The E-Type Jaguar is rolling art. If you have doubts about that, just remember that Enzo Ferrari, the spiritual father of more masterpieces than any other, called the E-Type “The most beautiful car ever made”.

The famous ‘Lightweight’ series of cars produced by Jaguar in the early 60s has passed into legend. Nowadays, entry to the ‘Lightweight E-type Club’ has a hefty multi-million-euro price tag.

This car has been extremely nice built, and no expense spared, and this is an accurate recreation of one of the 12 famous original Lightweights ‘Low Drag Coupé’ that raced at Le Mans, the Nürburgring and Montlhéry.

Under the bonnet lies a 300bhp, 3.8-litre straight six with a dry sump lubrication.

As one might expect from this no-comprise vehicle, the interior has been finished to the highest standard with trimmed Connolly hide seats. The result captures the flavor of the period and incorporates various modifications to enhance its performance, safety, comfort, and usability.

This ‘Low Drag’ E-Type is eligible for various prestigious historic race series including the E-Type Challenge, GT & Sports Car, Gentleman Driver (Masters Series) and the Spa 6-Hour race.

No E-type could be described as anything less than beautiful, but dressed in low-drag bodywork the curvaceous design surely hit its zenith
