The E-Type Lightweight is a performance modified E-Type from 1961 that features aluminium bodywork to keep weight as low as possible, a close ratio gearbox, Weber carburettors, race tuned suspension and a slew of other upgrades.
1961 was the first year the E-Type was produced making 2011 the 50 year anniversary since the launch of what has become one of the best (if not the best outright) cars of the 20th century.
