I can see it's some variety of E-type . Seems to have a lower windscreen /
roofline than most.

It's one of the competition lightweight e-types.

The Lynx ones are replicas, but IIRC, they were successful @ Le Mans in the
early '60s

Further to that, it looks like one of the low-drag lightweights,
designed by Malcolm Sayer. The most weel-known of these was CUT7,
driven by Dick Protheroe; there's a famous photo of it in the lake at
Oulton Park(!)

It seems to have a Coventry registration, so was probably a works car. I
think Briggs Cunningham raced one at Le Mans?

Not going to be cheap. I now need one of those, and that XJ220 I've wanted
since I was five :P. And a 7 of some variety.

If its registration number is original it looks like early 1960s

It's a "low drag" coupe. Very very few originals were built in period so
most seen today are replicas - this one too?

If it was a replica, then it would have been built around a donor car
- and therefore would bear the registration of that donor car...
