Ex-Tony Shaw Jaguar E-type
Anyone who goes to historic racing meetings can't help but be impressed when seeing a paddock full of racing E-types. Rasping exhaust notes, seductive lines and tail-happy racing make any race with an E-type in it extra exciting.
But not all E-types in the paddock are equal. This one, up for grabs with Fender-Broad, is very much the pack leader in any gang of racing E-types. This is the former steed of Tony Shaw, who campaigned it from 1966 until 1970 under the banner of Deltune Garage and Comet Petroleum. He was successful in it too – more than 50 podiums and victories. It continued to be raced and hill climbed all the way until 1996.
After a period in storage a thorough restoration was called for; five years later it's ready to rock. Thanks to its FIA-qualifying specification it's eligible for Goodwood, the Le Mans Classic and the Silverstone Classic. But that's not the best bit – it's got an MOT and can be used on the road.
Something this raw on the road will be a treat for the senses. You can get a taste of what it's like in the video we've included here.
