Jaguar E2A

Automobiles

The Jaguar E2A is the second E-Type prototype, built with a steel chassis and an aluminium body, unlike the monocoque E1A. Jaguar finished it as a racing car because it thought racing would be a better testing ground. It used a 3 litre version of the XK engine with Lucas fuel injection. After it retired from the Le Mans 24 Hours it went to America to race with the privateer Briggs Cunningham, then returned to Jaguar in 1961 as a test vehicle. In 1970 it passed to Roger Woodley, and it sold at Bonhams' Quail auction in 2008 for 4,957,000 US dollars.
