Chassis:
Completed in early in 1964, chassis S850669 was the 12th and final Lightweight E-Type to be built. It was sold new to Phil Scragg, who campaigned it extensively and quite successfully in sprints and hill-climbs. The E-Type was subsequently sold to the United States and in the mid-1970s ended up in a Japanese collection. The car resurfaced twenty years later at the 1995 Goodwood Festival of Speed in remarkable original condition.
A further ten years later, the car was offered by Blackhawk and eventually acquired by the current owner. He crashed the car heavily during the 2006 Goodwood Revival meeting. Fully repaired, chassis S850669 returned to Goodwood two years later. The owner, together with F1-racer/commentator Martin Brundle, came close to winning the RAC TT Celebration race. With the help of Indy-legend Bobby Rahal, he did manage to score a win in the prestigious one-hour endurance race. The car has reportedly spent some time in the Red Bull Racing wind-tunnel to tweak its aerodynamics.
