Presenting the 1962 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Low Drag Lindner-Nöcker by Lynx—a remarkable fusion of historic racing heritage and masterful engineering. This exceptionally rare model, a faithful recreation by Lynx, pays homage to the iconic Lindner-Nöcker E-Type, a true legend of the racing world.
The body is built to the original Low Drag appearance, incorporating a new steel monocoque and updated chassis frames. The bonnet, doors, boot lid, rear wings, and roof were all hand-welded in 16-gauge aluminium to original specification, including the external riveting. The original steel-design windscreen surround encased the low drag, raked laminated safety glass from the original pattern. Driving lamps in the bonnet, a spring-loaded roof vent, a louvered vent panel over fuel pumps, and pit lamps only add to the authentic feel.
The engine has been hand-built by Lynx for road and track use. Its power has been optimised to provide a wide torque curve, with 320 brake horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 340 foot-pounds of torque at 3,800 rpm. Other engine highlights include an aluminium gas-flowed and blueprinted cylinder head, triple Weber carburettors, a lightened and balanced flywheel, a semi-competition clutch, and Lynx side-exiting side pipes.
The front and rear suspension are fully adjustable, whilst the FIA-approved ATL fuel cell in aluminium casing, the Monza-style fuel filler, the braised fuel lines, and the large diameter front and rear brake discs with multi pot callipers make the E-Type highly usable on the track. As one might expect from this no-comprise vehicle, the interior has been finished to the highest standard, and it includes Smiths gauges, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, semi-reclined bucket seats that were patterned off the original car, trimmed Connolly hide, four-point harnesses with quick release, and a carpeted floor, with quilted leather covering the transmission tunnel and rear bulkhead.
In 2008 a mechanical restoration was commissioned. The engine was rebuilt to race specifications, as the car had previously been used on the road. The rear axle has been overhauled, along with all the rest of the suspension components, and a new roll cage had been fitted.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the 1962 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Low Drag Lindner-Nöcker by Lynx offers a rare chance to own a true piece of automotive history. This is more than just a vehicle—it's a timeless symbol of British engineering excellence and racing legacy.
