Chassis:
This Lightweight E-Type was sold new to Peter Sutcliffe. He campaigned chassis S850666 in local and international events for three seasons with some success. The car was subsequently sold to noted collector Brian Corser. After owning the car for nearly 30 years he offered it in the Bonhams auction during the 2005 Goodwood Revival Meeting. Still in highly original condition, it was estimated to sell for £1,000,000 to 1,200,000 but offers failed to meet the reserve. Shortly after the auction, it did change hands.
The new owner had the ex-Sutcliffe E-Type prepared for the 2006 Goodwood Revival. Together with Michael Vergers, he piloted S850666 to victory in the blue ribbon RAC TT Celebration race. The two men repeated that feat in 2007. Two years later the owner raced the car with Stuart Moseley but this time missed out on the win.
