Briggs Cunningham/John Fitch, finished 14th. 875027 was LHD and the 27th production E-Type and "the third of "Cunningham's Three," the other two being 875015 and 875026, all delivered to Cunningham as a group. It was built as a standard steel production car on April 24 1961 and originally registered 9023 DU in the UK. Jaguar factory records indicate it as a "demo." The car was heavily modified toward light-weight "E" specs." from here. Survives, now in UK and apparently one of the most original early racing spec E-types around. |
