1966 Jaguar

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August - Sunday the 30th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.

Built in 1966 to LHD specification, this Jaguar E-Type, was originally dispatched from Jaguar Cars New York

Imported from South Carolina, USA in 2009 and subsequently commissioned as the basis for a Jaguar E-Type Lightweight evocation, with the intention of creating a fast road and occasional track-day car. With competition being the aim, however, those plans were never realised

Originally finished in Opalescent Maroon with Black leather upholstery and a Black soft-top, the vehicle now presents in red

Work completed is understood to include the installation of new floorpans, sills and various Martin Robey replacement panels, together with a replacement front subframe

Now converted to right-hand drive and fitted with a running USA-specification 4.2-litre straight-six engine, reportedly allied to a close-ratio four-speed manual gearbox

Accompanied by a substantial quantity of parts, including a stainless steel exhaust system, refurbished radiator, partially renewed wiring loom, fuel system components, braking components, interior trim items and a set of Vredestein tyres, together with invoices and a British Motor Museum Heritage Certificate

Offered as a stalled restoration project with significant work already completed, presenting an excellent opportunity to complete a Jaguar E-Type Lightweight-inspired build. Viewing is highly recommended
