Jaguar E-Type Union Jack

Famously called “the most beautiful car ever made” by Enzo Ferrari, the Jaguar E-Type was originally unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show as a high performance and competitively priced sports car.

The legend goes that the E-Type selected to be unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show was driven from the Browns Lane plant in Coventry, by Jaguar executive Bob Berry to Geneva arriving just 20 minutes before the global reveal with only a few minutes for a quick wipe down.

More than 50 years after its launch the Jaguar E-Type is widely considered a design icon and notable landmark in automotive history, and one that you too can recreate in its swinging 60’s inspired paintwork.

C3834A McLaren M7C John Surtees, 1970 Dutch GP Legend – Limited Edition

No man is ever likely to emulate John Surtees’ feat of winning World Championships on two wheels and four. A racer who would be equally at home in the Halls of Fame of both motorcycle and car racing, ‘Big John’ rarely won the accolades his success deserved. Surtees’ prowess on motorcycles won him universal respect, and soon after trying out cars for Vanwall and Aston Martin in 1959, he switched full-time to cars in 1960. Having driven for Lotus, Ferrari, Honda and BRM, Surtees then set up Team Surtees in 1970. The season didn?t start to well with the first 3 races all ending in retirement, but in round 5 at the Dutch GP held at Zandvoort Surtees got his first point of the season. Surtees had to work hard for the victory after Qualifying 14th, but after some hard work and some luck through others retiring Surtees held on to the final points position.
