1963 JAGUAR E-Type Race Car Two Door

VIN-861113, 6-Cyl 3.8L Engine, Silver Exterior with Red Interior. This is an Original '63 E-Type Refitted in Aluminum with an Aluminum Factory Race Helmet & Aluminum Panels Replacing Dormer Steel Including the Aluminum Hardtop. A Very Faithful Recreation of the Factory 11 Originals but Left Hand Drive. Fully Engineered f/Vintage Racing. Originally Built as a Right Hand Drive w/Factory Assistance Converted to Left Hand Drive. Prior to Receiving its FIA Approval. Recently Equipped w/a Modern 5-Spd Transmission and Oversized Vented Disc Brakes by the Engineers at Doc's Jags, Scottsdale AZ. Street Legal with Full Roll Bar and FIA Papers. Its Race Record Actually Rivals That of Some of The Factory Originals. Some of the important race history includes two Targa Florios. Several old timer grand prixs and some memorable Nurburgring appearances. Built in England from an original right hand drive in the mid eighties. An original 1961 would sell for more than $2 million today. Here is an opportunity to purchase an important lightweight with probably a better race history than most of the originals have at a fraction of the price. Yet keeping all the important eligibility.

Sellers description:
With only 12 factory lightweights produced in 1963, few of us will ever see one, let along drive one. In these circumstances, a 1963 E-type modified as a lightweight is the best way to experience the look and feel of the original. The car has been awarded FIA papers including documented competition history in the late 80's in Germany.

The car offered here was converted to lightweight form in 1987 in the UK. It is a roadster / hardtop with fixed alloy top. The bonnet, top, doors and boot lid are aluminum. Side windows, rear window and headlight covers are Perspex. The car sits on 15" Dunlop racing wheels and road spec tires. Power comes from a race prepared 4.2-liter Jaguar 6-cylinder engine with triple Weber 45DCOE side draught carburettors producing 325 bhp.

5-speed gearbox, Sabelt harnesses, and VA Engineering roll cage complete the appearance and reality of a very exciting car.

After spending time in Germany, England and The Netherlands, this E-type was imported to the USA in April 2003. It was not raced but rather took a position in a small private collection until now. It will make a wonderful car for someone interested in vintage racing or vintage tours.
