Auction description:
Finished in white with blue longitudinal stripes and dark blue upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "very good overall" condition. Beginning life as a fixed-head coupe, '4915 NE' was reportedly converted to its current E-type Lightweight look-a-like configuration for a well known BRDC member and Le Mans driver at a cost "in excess of £30,000". Riding on Dunlop pattern peg-drive alloy wheels (complete with three-eared 42mm spinners), the car also sports a lightweight-style vented hard top and boot lid, Perspex headlamp covers and Le Mans-style front sill darts. Extensively overhauled and converted to dry-sump lubrication, the 3.8 litre engine is said to produce "over 240bhp on the rolling road" thanks in part to its triple Weber carburettors, Lynx manifold and full stainless steel exhaust system. Equipped with a five-speed close ratio gearbox and upgraded braking system (larger discs, better callipers etc), the Jaguar further boasts an uprated fuel pump, modern alternator, twin cooling fans and various fibreglass panels. While to the interior, occupants are cocooned by a full roll cage and four-point harnesses. Deemed by the seller to be a "superb motorcar" that has been "set-up for comfortable road or rally use rather than as a flat out racer", this stunning E-type is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until March 20th 2008.
