Jaguar's 'new' E-type is a Lightweight looker

Jaguar's 'new' E-type is a Lightweight looker

Now that the cover’s been lifted off the ‘new’ Lightweight E-type at Pebble Beach, take the chance to re-familiarise yourself with one of Jaguar’s greatest hits…

The decision to build the six ‘missing’ Lightweight E-types from the intended 18-car run was announced as part of plans for Jaguar’s burgeoning Special Operations division, which now has a dedicated heritage arm. All six cars will be built at Jaguar Heritage's facility at Browns Lane (where the original 12 cars were completed) and sold as period competition vehicles, eligible for historic motorsport. Now drink in the details; does it get much better?

You can find plenty of modern and classic Jaguars for sale in the Classic Driver Market.
