Ultimate E-type – The Collectors' Edition

Is this a first? The Collectors' Edition of a new motoring book will include a numbered piece of original metal from one of the 11 remaining Lightweight Es?

Just 25 very special copies of Philip Porter's latest blockbuster, Ultimate E-type – The Competition Cars, are hand-bound in finest Moroccan goatskin by top binder and book restorer, Trevor Lloyd. Complete with craftsman-made box, they are priced at £2,200 each. Of that, £1,000 will go to the Henry Surtees Foundation.

This edition has been created in conjunction with Peter Neumark, the owner of the famous ex-Le Mans Lindner Low Drag Lightweight and top classic car specialists, Classic Motor Cars, who have carried out an amazing 7000-hour rebuild of the car that was crashed in 1964. Each book has it's own unique number stamped out on original Lightweight E-type metal in the same format as an E-type body tag.

This car was fitted with the most powerful XK engine Jaguar ever built and modified by the Jaguar Competition Dept with Malcolm Sayer's very beautiful Low Drag bodywork. Today, it is worth several million pounds.
