It looks to be an early e-type.

It's muscular, artful flares.

MAF914 is correct. It is probably a 67. Different rearend than the early e types.
Car looks like it may have run at LeMans because of the dual front light in the bonnet.
When looking at these cars it is always a good idea to take a pic of the serial number plate. You can actually trace there history on available database sites.

Not only is it a "Lightweight E-Type" of which 14 were built for the 1963 season; it is 1 of 3 converted to a "Low Drag Coupe" for 1964. The body was designed be Malcolm Sayer and was said to be capable of x170mph.

Here is a link to follow and you can have one of your very own.

Yup looks like a GT-40...maybe a replica or something as well?

That Lynx is mighty nice though. Love the D-type on their site as well. Wonder if the wiring is as bad as the orriginal Jags, haha.

The D-Type makes me think of all the pennies I have thrown off bridges.

Question: Retirement, is it really all it's cracked up to be? I am thinking on cutting down on some of my luxury items, like food and lodging.. let me see here... 4+5+6=451... carry the 11...

D-types and early Es are so swoopy, and not to start a fist fight, but I'd prefer the style over all the brute horsepower in the world... what style... mmMm mMmmm Mmm Mmmmm mmmmMM..

There is a manufacturer in New Zealand of GT 40 replicas that are very spot on. Not a cheap VW based replica. They look as real as the original s but without the increase in your insurance premium.
They now have a US based operation located in Indiana.

We have a distributor here in Oregon that I have been in contact with , waiting for more information on pricing.

Craig,

they are about 1/2 hour from my house. Let me know if I can be of assistance. Maybe a test drive? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
