Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupe 1962

[NART512]

History:
The Low Drag Coupe of the E-Type was essentially the racing version of the famous E-Type. Unlike the C and D-types, the E-type was (I believe) Jaguar's first closed top race car. The car was made mainly out of aluminum to save weight. The car was also fitted with a 3.8L straight 6, the same engine used in the D-type.

Specs:
Engine: 3.8L Straight 6

Hi Nart - they are two different cars. The lightweight E type had many aluminium panels, but was based on a roadster body and looked like this from the rear.

Your photos include the low drag coupe - two lightweights were converted into low drag coupes, which as you can see from the rear is a different car.
