Hemmings Daily: One of 12 original examples, championship-winning 1963 Jaguar E-type Lightweight to cross the block

Photos by P. Litwinski, courtesy Bonhams Auctions, unless otherwise noted. With just 12 examples constructed in-period, the E-Type Lightweight is rarer than Jaguar's C-type (53 built) and D-type (71 built), as well as Ferrari's 250 GTO (39 built, including three 330 GTOs). E-type Lightweights don't trade hands very often, but next month an Australian championship-winning example, said to display less than 4,000 miles on the odometer, will cross the auction stage as part of the Bonhams Scottsdale, Arizona sale.

From the seller's description: Here is a very nice example of a 1976 Jeep Wagoneer that spent most of its life in the dry climate of eastern Oregon. It's a Quadratrac 4WD "Base Model" with the bullet proof AMC 360 V8 & 3-Speed Automatic combo. I bought this Jeep with the intent of making it into a cool daily driver, but I have too many projects right now. Virtually rust free and original (which is why I bought it from the west coast).

In January of 2008, NHRA Top Fuel dragster pilot Doug Herbert was racing in Arizona when he received the call that every parent dreads: His two sons, Jon, age 17, and James, age 12, had been killed in a motor vehicle accident near the family's North Carolina home. In the years since, Herbert has turned this tragedy into something positive, creating Be Responsible And Keep Everyone Safe, or B.R.A.K.E.S., to foster improved teen driver safety.
