1964 Jaguar XKE Semi-Lightweight

E asily one of the sexiest cars ever produced, the Jaguar XKE still causes palpitations in the hearts of many motoring enthusiasts. But it also has an incredible racing pedigree, in the form of the special E-Type “Lightweights.”

In 1964, a dozen aluminum-bodied XKEs were produced for racing, each one using some of the very best competition parts available from Jaguar at the time, and each capable of some 300 horsepower. These special cars, which were sold to privateers, went on to win many races, but were never as victorious as Jag’s C-Type and D-Type race cars, which shined at events like Lemans and Sebring.

A 13th car, a coupe-bodied variant, also was built for a French collector. The car, however, was never raced in the ‘60s.

The “Semi-Lightweight,” as it is known and which is featured here, was purchased by Hugh Sutherland with the intention of competing in the 1964 24 Hours of Lemans. Unable to obtain the needed sponsorship to compete, he chose not to race the car and removed much of its special performance parts.

After many subsequent owners, the Jag was outfitted with every conceivable feature found on competition lightweight cars and has seen some occasional historic racing action. Despite its performance additions, this Jag can be driven on the street, which is a huge plus. While you can expect to pay a lot for a car like this, you also have an incredible history to share.
