Chassis:
Chassis S850664 was one of three Lightweight E-Types entered by the Briggs Cunningham team in the 1963 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Piloted by Americans Augie Pabst and Walt Hansgen, the car was forced to retire early in the race with gearbox issues. After its active racing career, it was displayed in the Cunningham museum for many years. At some point the car returned to England, where, despite changing hands several times, it remains to this day. The ex-Cunningham E-Type was demonstrated at the 2002 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Rarely seen since, it was eventually sold for $8 million at the 2017 Bonhams Quail Lodge auction. In 2022, the ex-Briggs Cunningham Lightweight was consigned to headline the Bonhams Quail Lodge sale again by the next custodian.
