In 1963, Jaguar unveiled a lightened, racing version of its E-type sports car. Powered by an aluminium-block 3.8-litre straight six engine, the sports cars were at the cutting edge of racing technology. Of the planned 18 units, just 12 were ever built, leaving six original chassis numbers set aside.

In 2014, Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Operations Division took up the project again, creating six ‘new’ Lightweight E-types to the exact specifications of the original. With each car costing over £1,000,000 every detail had to be perfect. So have they done the job? Steve Cropley drives the new Lightweight E-type.

American paraglider Gavin McClurg can aptly be described as adventurous. Some of his notable accomplishments include sailing around the world and flying the Canadian Rockies, and he’s even been nominated as a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year alongside fellow Canadian Will Gadd.

But it all might have never happened if a little swim he took in 2001 went another way. So, spoiler: He’s still alive. But the rest of the story? We’re going to let him tell you about that himself. Watch below.
