Lightweights to be produced

Jaguar have announced they are going to build the last 6 Lightweight E-Types that never made production.

Astonishing stuff.

Its brilliant news!
Its great that Jaguar are answering those who questioned there lack of acknowledgement to the past in all the Heritage closure stories etc.
They are clearly VERY proud of their Heritage - and I think there are many good things to come.

Presumably only those with deep pockets need apply - wonder if any will actually ever see the road......

Telegraph story says Jaguar trying to get drivers who will drive them on road and have a £1m.

But also said 17 acres at Brown Lane was retained and going to be hand built there at new Heritage centre? Is this correct and a different place from the Gaydon heritage development?
