The world’s fastest Jaguar E-Type is up for sale

‘The World’s Fastest E-Type Jaguar’ aka ‘The Beast’, which dominated its class of racing throughout the Nineties, is now up for sale. Fully restored, it is available for sale through Hampson Auctions.

Conceived by Fred Cliffe back in 1977, the V12 roadster was developed by Rob Beere Racing over 13 years and driven by Malcolm Hamilton to 52 victories and 87 podium finishes.

After its remarkable run on the track was cut short by an accident at Oulton Park in 2001, the Jaguar was disassembled and stored before finally being sold to the current keeper, who has patiently rebuilt it to the equivalent specification in which it last competed.

The cars also boasts a top speed of 180mph (290kph). Hampson’s next general sale of Classics and Collectables will be held at Thornton Manor, Wirral on April 28.
