Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupe For Sale

In the realm of classic automobiles, few models hold a candle to the iconic Jaguar E-Type, a vehicle that not only defined an era but also became a symbol of automotive beauty and performance. Among its celebrated lineage, the Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupe stands out as a beacon of engineering marvel and aesthetic splendor. Recently, a masterpiece inspired by this legendary model has surfaced for sale, marking a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This is not just any car, but one of two masterpieces meticulously crafted to pay homage to the E-Type’s legacy, specifically inspired by the famed “49FXN.”

The car in question, known as “OWL226,” is a testament to the passion and dedication of Marco Diaz, who, alongside the original team members and aerodynamicist Dr. Samir Klat, embarked on a journey to recreate the magic of the “49 FXN.” Utilizing a wealth of archival materials, including original blueprints and rare photographs, Diaz and his team meticulously crafted two chassis, with “OWL226” being the only left-hand-drive version among them.

“OWL226” is propelled by a formidable 3.8L LWE Inline 6 engine, capable of delivering 380 horsepower, thanks to the expertise of Croswaithe & Gardiner and Ed Pink Racing Engines. This powerhouse is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, ensuring a driving experience that is as exhilarating as it is smooth. The car’s performance is further enhanced by custom Koni shocks and 15-inch magnesium wheels, blending speed and agility with unparalleled style.

Yet, it is the bespoke interior that truly sets “OWL226” apart. Diaz’s vision transcended the original utilitarian design, aiming instead for a level of luxury and sophistication rarely seen in race-inspired vehicles. The interior is a work of art, with every component, from the seats to the door panels, handcrafted to perfection. The inclusion of switches from RAF fighter jets adds a historical and nostalgic touch, elevating the driving experience to new heights.

The exterior of “OWL226” is just as impressive, finished in Titanium Gray Metallic paint that accentuates its sleek lines and athletic stance. The blue leather interior not only complements the exterior but also adds a touch of elegance, making this Jaguar E-Type for sale as beautiful to behold as it is to drive.

Since its debut at the 2019 Quail Gathering, “OWL226” has garnered widespread acclaim, featured in prestigious publications like the Wall Street Journal and Finish Line. It represents more than just an automobile; it is a harmonious blend of history, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of perfection, embodying the spirit of the Jaguar E-Type Low Drag Coupe for a new era.

For collectors and enthusiasts, the sale of “OWL226” offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, meticulously restored and enhanced for the modern age. It stands as a testament to the dedication and artistry of those who have preserved and reimagined one of the most celebrated models in the history of automobiles.
