Bob Jane's 1963 Jaguar E-type Lightweight goes to Auction...

E-type Lightweights don’t trade hands very often, but next month an Australian championship-winning example, said to display less than 4,000 miles on the odometer, will cross the auction stage as part of the Bonhams Scottsdale, Arizona sale...

Bloody e-types are really expensive.   I couldn't believe my eyes, they sell for over $200k stock average.

I'd rather buy a Fezza for that money, or a lambo.

especially since the Fezza of the period out ran in all the endurance races.
