An original 1963 Silverstone Lightweight E-type Jaguar.
This sexy supercar is getting petrolheads all revved up but buyers willing to fork out the £1.5 million asking price will need their own racing track to use it - because it can't be driven on the road.
The iconic Jaguar E-Type is the first of the rare lightweight racing model to come out of the legendary Coventry firm's stable in more than 50 years.
Six limited edition motors have been painstakingly rebuilt to the original design that hero racing drivers like Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart raced to glory in the sixties.
But because they have been made to 1963 specifications they do not comply to today's strict safety laws and are therefore not road legal.
