The Jaguar Lightweight E-Type is a competition version of the E-Type built by Jaguar in the early 1960s as a racing successor to the D-Type. It used aluminium alloy for the body panels and an aluminium-block, tuned 3.8 litre engine rated at 300 brake horsepower, against 265 for the road car. Jaguar planned eighteen and built twelve, plus two spare bodies. Most stayed open-top in the spirit of the D-Type. The cars raced reasonably well in private hands but did not win Le Mans or Sebring. In 2014 Jaguar's Heritage business announced it would build the six remaining cars to the original specification.
