Continuing GALPOT's Golden anniversary of the E-Type, today's car was found rust free in a lockup by Justin Rockett and rebuilt as a club racer in 1997.
In 2005 it was upgraded to full 'FIA' specifications, which includes a Safety Devices roll cage, the original iron block 3.8 litre / 231 cui motor raced prepared by Sigma Engineering , straight cut close ratio gearbox, limited slip differential,
Jaguar MK IX braking system, polyurethane suspension bushes, uprated torsion bars, springs and shock absorbers. The peg drive Dunlop 'style' wheels are fitted with period 'L' section tyres.
This vehicle which has been seen carrying a registration plate 5187 KV, was purchased by Nothern Irish Jaguar enthusiast and racer Mark Russell in 2009 and has been developed and prepared by Classic Spares.
Hope you have enjoyed today's rust free lock up find edition of 'Gettin' a lil' psycho on tyres' and that you'll join me again tomorrow for Ferrari Friday. Don't forget to come back now !
Next to the D-type, the E-type is one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever designed.
ReplyDeleteEnzo thought the E-type was the most beautiful car of all :-)
