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.

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).
