Tragically, the owner of this superb Jaguar passed away in 2002 and the car has been sitting quietly in a barn since then. In February 2011, the Low Drag Coupe saw daylight for the first time in nearly 9 years. The fuel and brake systems have been freshened and she is ready to reclaim her former glory!

*Amazing Presence, Specification and Performance

While the racing career of the Lindner-Nöcker Low-Drag Lightweight E-Type was relatively brief, its radical, all-out design and "one of one" status kept it in the collective memory of Jaguar's faithful. Among them was Tony Parkinson, a former director of Vicarage, the renowned Jaguar restoration and upgrading specialist firm, who had relocated to Florida. During the 1990s, Parkinson converted an original 1970 E-Type 2+2 into this incredibly detailed recreation of the original Lindner-Nöcker Low Drag Lightweight E-Type, faithfully crafted entirely of aluminum, including the monocoque tub, in keeping with the original car. Beautiful details included the flip-up fuel-filler cap, bent-wire trunk latch, faired driving lights, and intricate sheet metal ducts channeling cooling air to the radiator, carburetors and front brakes. As with the original, body panels are secured by strings of rivets draped across the bodywork in purposefully curving lines.

A carefully considered blend of period and modern mechanical components endows the Low Drag Lightweight E-Type with performance matching its aggressive persona. Among them, the Jaguar XK six-cylinder engine, taken from the donor E-type that also provided most mechanical components, was bored to 4,580cc and equipped with a freer-flowing cylinder head, oversize valves, triple Weber carburetors, exhaust headers, high-strength internals and Electromotive HPV-1 ignition. Producing a stated 300 horsepower, the Jaguar's high-strength driveline includes an American JT5 five-speed transmission and Quaife limited-slip differential. Chassis upgrades include vented front brake rotors, four-piston AP calipers, Koni adjustable shock absorbers, stiffer front torsion bars, softer rear springs and lengthened steering arms, with replica Dunlop cast-aluminum peg-drive wheels and fat tires for rolling stock. Overall weight is 2,490 pounds, about 350 pounds lighter than a production car. In keeping with its race-car inspiration, the interior is spartan, yet includes door panels, a proper dash carpeting, plus a Pioneer radio and CD changer and under-dash air conditioner.

Following completion in 1999, the Low Drag Lightweight was carefully sorted and tested over 600 miles in advance of another 200 miles during evaluations by top publications including Top Gear and Car and Driver. According to the report by Csaba Csere for Car and Driver, the reborn E-Type accelerated from rest to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, covered the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds at 102 mph and braked from 70 mph in 198 feet and from 70 mph. Skidpad performance was strong at 0.82g and while top speed potential was not tested, the article cited 160-170 mph as feasible. The Car and Driver test session also included several hard laps at Moroso Motorsports Park, where the E-Type displayed predictable handling, minimal body roll, and excellent control. Importantly, engine-cooling was effective, even with the air conditioner running and the 95-degree air temperatures. Following the high-profile media coverage, the first owner eventually passed away in 2002 and the Jaguar was hidden away for more than a decade until the Consignor, a noted former sports-car racer, acquired it during the early 2010s. Since then, the Low Drag Coupe has been maintained within his private collection and sparingly enjoyed, with the car described as quite powerful and fast during a recent telephone conversation. A wonderful and expertly built recreation of the singular Lindner-Nöcker Low-Drag Lightweight E-Type, this exceptionally charismatic classic Jaguar simply awaits a new owner and further adventures.

Seller's description:

This Low Drag Coupe Replica was hand built out of Aluminum by a former employee of Lynx Cars using a 1970 XKE as a donor car. The Engine was bored out to 4.6 Liters and a 5 Speed was added for increased drivability and performance. The car also features Air Conditioning and a decent Stereo system- this is truly a Gentleman's Racer- a car that can driven to the track, raced all day and then driven back home again.

The car was featured in and road tested by Car and Driver Magazine after completion, a copy of which accompanies the car.
