A competitive racing E-Type built to the highest specification and with a successful track record.

245 YUB was built from an original right drive 1962 roadster and it remains in its original factory colour combination. It was distributed new by Peter Lindner to Captain R C ‘Teddy’ Bagnell who was stationed in Germany in 1962. It was only the second Jaguar E-Type ever imported in Germany.
Mike Adams commissioned the conversion to a full FIA compliant race car using proven specialists. The super high specification includes aluminium body panels and an aluminium engine block. Mike successfully campaigned the car at the forefront of the fields and the detailed history records include wins in the HSCC Guards trophy. Tony Jardine co drove with Mike Adams on occasion.
All build records are well documented along with regular maintenance and improvements throughout the racing years.

The history file includes the Historic Technical Passport, race programmes, build and dyno sheets and all invoices from the very start. The engine is freshly built by Rob Beere and the dynomometer sheet shows an impressive 368 bhp at 6300 rpm and a more impressive 340 lb/ft of torque available at 4800 rpm.
245 YUB is the Lightweight featured in the 2011 Jaguar-produced book to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the E-Type.
This is a pristine front running FIA compliant lightweight E-Type racer which remains road legal.
