The Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupe is a one-off experimental racing coupe that Jaguar built in 1962 to test a car closer in spirit to the D-Type. Unlike the steel production E-Types it used lightweight aluminium panels riveted and glued to the original tub, with a more steeply raked windscreen, a welded-shut rear hatch, Perspex side glass and a stripped interior. It ran a tuned 3.8 litre engine with a wide-angle cylinder head. Jaguar sold the car in 1963 to the racing driver Dick Protheroe, and it is now believed to belong to the private collection of the Viscount Cowdray.
