Jaguar E-Type 880115 was ordered directly from the factory in late 1963 by Toronto-based Hugh Sutherland to compete in the 1964 Le Mans 24-Hour race. Hugh Sutherland, with accomplished drives for the Aston Martin factory team at Le Mans and the Austin Healey factory team at Sebring, ordered this specially prepared competition Jaguar at the factory with a steel monocoque, 3.8 competition engine with high compression head, lightened flywheel, competition clutch, close ratio gearbox, racing specification cool-ducted larger front brakes and special offset wheels. Hugh also arranged with the factory to fit his newly delivered car with additional “Lightweight” specification aluminum bonnet, hood, boot-lid, and doors as well as a 5-speed gearbox as evidenced by considerable documentation and correspondence with the factory. The car was delivered at the factory and registered with the factory numbers”6321WK” (a registration number usually found on factory team cars). 6321WK was accepted for Le Mans in 1964, Sterling Moss partnered with Hugh for the drive, however Mr. Sutherland’s sponsorship for the race did not materialize and he was unable to take the car to the La Sarthe event. Without sponsorship the lightweight body panels would have to wait until later for installation. This was finally done when the car was restored by Hans Glaser in Southern California. In 1964/1965 6321WK subsequently returned to Canada with Hugh where he had occasion to race the car at club events. After passing through a few ownership changes the car was eventually purchased and restored by Mr. Glaser. Once restored the car was purchased by Roger Wilbanks and then to John McCaw (Cavilino Holdings). John had a considerable amount of race preparation done to the car, all within period specification, with much of the work performed by Bruce Canepa. I purchased the car from John McCaw in 2004. Since that time I have spent over $90,000 getting the car just right. Fully sorted, safe and extremely reliable this E-Type is an absolutely turn-key race car ready for anything rally or street use (not a statement I take lightly as I am a fanatical detail person who has been racing historic cars for 20 years and understand full well exactly what this means. The following is a short list of the car specification and condition: 1. New Guy Broad, 5 hours, full race engine (one he intended to use himself but sold to me) with billet crankshaft, Carrillo rods, D-Type valve covers, etc, etc. 2. Period Triple Weber DCOE-9 45mm carburetors 3. New ATL fuel cell (mounted in spare tire well with the original fuel tank still in place and usable for tours) 4. Lightweight specification alloy wheels, spline drive 5. Body striped as in period and delivered to Hugh Sutherland (period picture of car in documentation) but done with vinyl material so as to be removable if required 6. Aluminum bonnet (front hood), hood (top), boot (trunk), and doors as per Jaguar lightweight specification 7. 5-speed Medatronics gearbox 8. All brake discs and pads replaced. Front brake calipers rebuilt, rear calipers replaced with new Stainless Steel units from Bill Terry Jaguar. 9. Interior roll bar as per lightweight and set-up for Hans device 10.

Car to be at Bonhams auction 8/09
www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r

Auction description:
Lot No: 218•
1964 Jaguar E-Type Factory Racer
Chassis no. 880115
Engine no. RA3480-9

Better known in the U.S. as the “X-KE” it still retains both its mystique and desirability having stood the test of time as evidenced by the March 2008 issue of the Daily Telegraph which ranked it first among the 100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time, an accolade echoed by numerous other European and U.S. publications over the years. The cars would also prove formidable competitors in a variety of racing venues, many modified by their owners, a very few purpose built for racing by the factory. Case in point Jaguar E-Type #880115.

Ordered directly from the factory in late 1963, the specially prepared competition semi-lightweight model featured a 3.8 competition engine with high compression head, lightened flywheel, competition clutch, close ratio gearbox, racing specification cool-ducted larger front brakes and special offset wheels. It was thus prepared to compete in the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans Grand Prix of Endurance by Toronto-based Hugh Sutherland who had previously driven for the Aston Martin team at Le Mans and the Austin Healey factory team at Sebring.

Included in the detailed order was an additional “Lightweight” specification aluminum bonnet, hood, boot-lid, and doors as well as a 5-speed gearbox (rather than the standard 4-speed, non-synchro production transmission). Documentation to that effect includes 26 pages of correspondence with the Jaguar factory and others involved in its race preparation. The car bears the factory registration numbers “6321WK” a designation usually reserved for factory team cars.

As fate would have it, Sutherland’s Le Mans sponsorship didn’t materialize and the car did not compete, the car’s special lightweight components uninstalled. However that changed when the car was eventually restored by its new owner Hans Glaser in Southern California. Eventually the special E-type went to by R. John McCaw who initiated further work under Dominic Dobson’s supervision, all within period specification. In 2004, the car was purchased by the vendor who then invested an additional $90,000 “getting the car just right” including its Opalescent Dark Green exterior and green suede leather interior.

A short list of its many enhancements includes:
1. New Guy Broad engine, full race with billet crankshaft, Carrillo rods, D-Type valve covers
2. Triple Weber DCOE-9 45mm carburetors
3. Brand new ATL fuel cell (original fuel tank still in place and usable for tours)
4. Lightweight specification alloy wheels
5. Front brake calipers rebuilt, rear calipers replaced with new stainless steel units from Bill Terry Jaguar.
6. Interior roll bar as per lightweight and set-up for Hans device plus on-board fire extinguisher system
7. Original engine and gearbox restored and crated as spare
8. Four additional crates of spare parts from restoration process
9. Two sets of competition special offset wire wheels
10. Huge history file with all documentation regarding original order with factory specifications as provided by the factory and also list of the additional lightweight items purchased from the factory for Le Mans entry
11. Current FIA Historic Technical Passport (HTP) papers
12. Glove box autographed by Norman Dewis, Jaguar’s famous test driver/engineer

The car was a participant in the Monterey Historic Automobile races 2005 and 2007. Fully sorted, safe and extremely reliable this quintessential E-Type is an absolutely turn-key race car ready for rally or street use. Offered with a Certificate of Title.

Estimate: $300,000 - 325,000
