Classic Motor Cars Launches 50th Anniversary Celebrations of the Jaguar E-Type

Classic Motor Cars started off the E-Type 50th Anniversary celebrations at London’s Design Museum on February 8th.

Norman Dewis, who this year celebrates his 91st birthday and John Surtees, only man to win World Championships on two wheels and four, unveiled a stunning 1961 E-Type which has recently been restored.

“We thought that it would be fitting if the first event to celebrate the anniversary could be held at London’s Design Museum,” said Peter Neumark, the Chairman of CMC. “The car has become a design classic that has endured over the years and we were delighted when the museum agreed.” He added: “It would have been impossible to celebrate this famous car without having Norman Dewis, its legendary test driver on hand to talk about the car and F1 legend John Surtees who was one of the E-Type’s first customers.
