What's this exactly?

I can see it's some variety of E-type :). Seems to have a lower windscreen / roofline than most.


Doki waffled on in a quite bewildering manner to produce...

It's one of the competition lightweight e-types.

The Lynx ones are replicas, but IIRC, they were successful @ Le Mans in the early '60s

Further to that, it looks like one of the low-drag lightweights, designed by Malcolm Sayer. The most weel-known of these was CUT7, driven by Dick Protheroe; there's a famous photo of it in the lake at Oulton Park(!)

Try this for a pic & some details.

It seems to have a Coventry registration, so was probably a works car. I think Briggs Cunningham raced one at Le Mans?

1981 TR7 DHC

Not going to be cheap. I now need one of those, and that XJ220 I've wanted since I was five :P. And a 7 of some variety.

It's a "low drag" coupe. Very very few originals were built in period so most seen today are replicas - this one too?

If its registration number is original it looks like early 1960s

If it was a replica, then it would have been built around a donor car

- and therefore would bear the registration of that donor car...
