Jaguar will build six reproductions of the original, race-bred Lightweight E-type that was created in 1963. The new cars are the ‘missing’ six vehicles from the brand’s Lightweight E-type project, which originally started in February 1963 with the objective of building 18 ‘Special GT E-type Cars.’<\/p>\n

Only 12 of the aluminum bodied Lightweight E-type vehicles were eventually built, the last in 1964, the remaining six designated chassis numbers having lain dormant, until now.<\/p>\n

The new cars will be hand-built in-house by Jaguar craftsmen. Each car will be constructed to the exact specifications of their original 1960s forebears \u2013 including the 3.8-litre straight-six engine. The cars will be assigned the six remaining chassis numbers which were originally allocated in 1963.<\/p>\n

The Lightweight carried approximately 114kg (250lb) less weight than a standard E-type<\/a>, thanks to its all-aluminum body and engine block, a lack of interior trim and exterior chrome work and a host of further weight-saving features including lightweight, hand-operated side windows.<\/p>\n

Jaguar expects a high demand for the six Lightweight E-types. Established Jaguar collectors, especially those with historic race car interests, will be prioritized amongst potential customers that express interest. The first new Lightweight E-type will make its public debut later this summer.<\/p>\n
