This car competed in two races at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1993.
Described in the programme of the event as Allen Lloyd's 4.2 litre 1964 Jaguar E-Type, it has the looks of one of the 12 Lightweight competition models built in the 1960s, but I can't find anything to confirm that this is a genuine Lightweight. Eighteen chassis numbers were set aside in 1963 for the Lightweight models, but only 12 were built - the six additional cars were eventually built in 2014-15.
Here's the car at what was then Foulston's chicane (now Britten's) in the Inter-Marque Championship Race.....
.....and here later in the day at Lodge Corner in the MG Car Club/AMOC Thoroughbred & Classic Sports Car Championship Race. Allen Lloyd was at one time President of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust.
