H&H are once again delighted to be auctioning a very special E Type Jaguar, which by employing a 1964 S1 3.8 coupe as the donor car and a brand new body with a raft of new componentry has resulted in the truly stunning machine you see today. The Coventry sports-car with hardtop and roll cage in an untrimmed fully functional interior is powered by a Rob Beere prepared 3.8-litre six with a claimed 300bhp on tap. A very limited edition run of such Historic Motor Sport ready Jags were produced by the E Type Race Company.
The bodyshell came from marque specialists Martin Robey with steel panels apart from GRP bonnet, strengthened inner sills, stiffening mods, FIA-compliant roll cage and firewalls. The really super-spec included Autosparks wiring loom, new electrical components and lights, Fuel Safe tank, Aeroquip hoses, Willwood panels and fabricated pedal box, Beere race-spec torsion bars and anti-roll bars, Gazmatic 32-position shockers, 325lbs rear springs, strengthened rear bottom wishbones with relocated mounting points, solid-mounted steering rack and rear subframes, 3.54 diff with Powr-Lok, Beere 300bhp 3.8 motor on Webers, Tony Law manifolds and repackable silencers, Walkers radiator and fans, Getrag 5-speed gearbox, Sabelt harnesses, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, and Dunlop replica 15ins diameter 7ins wide wheels with splined hub adapters.
Reading through - and pricing up - all these well thought out mods, it is no wonder that Es such as these cost in excess of ú60,000, and that was in 2001 remember!
