Jaguar reveals E-type lightweight

Jaguar has unveiled the first of six reborn Lightweight E-types, which will go on sale internationally, following their debut at the upcoming Pebble Beach concours event in California. The new examples complete the 'Special GT E-type' project that was started in 1963. Just 12 of the planned 18-car original run were built. The remaining six chassis numbers are set to appear on the newly created Lightweight E-types. Designed for racing, the Lightweight E-types will be built to the exact specification of the original cars, allowing them to be used in historic racing events.
