Jay Leno's Garage brought one very cool cat onto the show in a recent episode. A 1963 Jaguar E-Type swung into the studio, but this is no typical E-Type. It's a different animal. Not to be confused as a kit car or a tribute to an original, this is a factory Jaguar E-Type, except Jaguar Classic has replaced the body panels with aluminum. At the end of the 3,000-hour-long restoration (1,500 of which were spent fitting the body to better-than-original specification), the car is about 400-500 pounds lighter than a steel E-Type. The car weighs only about 2,200 pounds, even though a massive...

Special cars command big bucks. This 1963 Jaguar Lightweight E-Type is one special car that's just bit extra special, and it will soon head to a new home as it's bound for Bonhams' auction during 2017 Monterey Car Week this August. A Jaguar E-Type will always conjure special attention, but the Lightweight E-Types are very special indeed. Foremost, only 12 were built originally—Jaguar has since built six continuation cars—and each featured aluminum construction and a stripped-down cabin. This helped shave 250 pounds from the curb weight of what was already a light car, hence its...

Though it's oft repeated, it's repeated for a reason: the Jaguar E-Type remains one of the greatest looking vehicles ever made. On top of that, it's a joy to drive. Especially if you can get your hands on one equipped with a 4.2-liter straight six under the long hood and a convertible roof to let the wind and sun into your wonderful world. CHECK OUT: Shelby Will Let You Try It Before You Buy It: Video The Series I 1/2 cars remain this writer's preferred generation. Still, even the later V-12 E-Types were glorious to look at, and one of them is about to get new life as it heads to auction...
