This unique gathering was organised as part of the launch of the book ‘Strictly No Admittance!’, which tells the definitive history of the lightweight E-type programme.

The first Lightweight built, 4 WPD, (which took 4 victories in 1963 piloted by then F1 World Champion Graham Hill and one further win in 1964 piloted by a then promising young Scot called Jackie Stewart) was brought over to the event on behalf of owner Shaun Lynne by keepers CKL Engineering, who maintain the car.

This interview was the first time the team have been together with a Lightweight E-type since the factory racing programme ceased in late 1964 but the bonds of friendship this small programme wrought were obvious to see as they discussed the car’s details and shared memories. The team’s thoughts were recorded in this interview conducted by Wayne Scott for the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, this episode presents the second of the two-part series. You can hear part 1 in episode 86 of the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club Podcast.
