It would have been nice to feature Jaguar's promo video for the six
E-Type Lightweights
here. There are plenty of arty shots, the atmospheric backing music and the obligatory F-Type appearance but not a great deal of actual fast driving. Although Mike Cross at maximum attack round a test track probably wouldn't have created the right image.
So as an alternative E-Type celebration, there's this few minutes of onboard from a Jaguar Heritage Lightweight. Al Buncombe is driving again, a name you'll hopefully remember from the GT40 video of a few weeks back. There's much the same in this video that made the GT40 clip so enthralling; ballsy overtakes, deft powerslides and 100 per cent commitment.
The difference this time of course is that howling straight six replaces thundering V8 and it's Oulton Park instead Goodwood. Still a terrific video though. Here's to the last six being used similarly!
Enjoy the vid.
