    Car to be at auction 3/15
    www.goodingco.com/vehicle/1961-jaguar-e-type-series-i-lightweight-replica/

    Auction description:
    Lot 68
    Amelia Island 2015
    1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I Lightweight Replica
    Coachwork by RS Panels
    Estimate: $400,000 - $500,000
    Chassis: 876208

    This 1961 E-Type roadster, chassis 876208, was built by RS Panels with a new all-aluminum body shell. In fact, this car, UK-registered "RSP 003," was built as company founder Bob Smith's personal car.

    Featuring period-correct parts throughout, it is powered by a 4.2-litre engine with 45 DCOE Weber twin-choke carburetors mated to a full-synchromesh, close-ratio four-speed gearbox. Impeccable accuracy and construction quality are immediately apparent upon inspection. An FIA Historical Technical Passport (HTP) accompanies this very special Series E-Type Lightweight Replica, and it is ready for a host of driving events. Having traveled only an approximate 800 miles since completion, it is beautifully presented and a unique opportunity to acquire a highly specialized E-Type.

    1961 Jaguar E-Type 'Lightweight' Recreation

    Sold For £184,000

    Inclusive of applicable buyer's fee.RM | Sotheby's - LONDON 2018

    Chassis No.876208

    Serial No. RSP 003

    Engine No.R 28169

    Documents: US Title

    The first of just eight E-Type ‘Lightweight’ recreations built by RS Panels

    FIA passport obtained in 2011

    RS Panels has also made just eight of its own hand-built lightweight E-Types, based on original E-Type platforms, over the last 20 years, and this is one such example. The first of the eight examples built, this E-Type was built as company founder Bob Smith’s personal vehicle with the aim of competing in historic racing, not only an excellent marketing tool for his company, but a fantastic way to take to the track and enjoy the ultimate evolution of the E-Type at speed. It started out as a 1961 roadster before the two-year transformation began in 1996. It was finished in British Racing Green with a black factory-correct hardtop and green leather bucket seats. The alloy body, assigned RSP 003, has all the correct lightweight features. The specification included a race-prepared 4.2-litre dry sump engine with 45 DCOE Weber carburettors, a four-speed synchromesh close-ratio gearbox, the correct Dunlop alloy wheels as well as a full roll cage. As part of preparation, the car gained an FIA Historic Technical Passport in 2011.

    Plans for racing were halted and the car was sold to Julian Masters in Santa Barbara, California, who used the car only sparingly. After changing hands to an owner on Long Island, New York, it was driven on the annual Copperstate 1000 Rally in Arizona. It was then sold to a collector and kept in East Hampton, New York. In a recent conversation with the consignor, he commented that it is an amazing car to drive both on the road and on the track, with an abundance of torque its acceleration is truly intoxicating.

    Driven just 1,500 miles, the car is ready for campaigning in historic races or to enjoy as a fast road GT. With all original and continuation lightweight E-Types now in collections, this car represents the best opportunity to own a very rare, legendary ’60s GT.

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
