What Can I Expect

It's all about the retro 60s style on this Jaguar driving day! Will leather driving gloves, a nice pair of Farah slacks and original Ray Bans be your attire of choice for this E-Type experience?

Whilst the outfits from this era are probably best forgotten, the design of this car is eternally in fashion. Even some of today's Jaguars still boast that nice long bonnet and distinctive wheel-arch curves that were first seen on the E-Type. Just getting the chance to get up close to one of these Jaguars models is a privilege, let alone actually driving one!

Brit-born designer Malcolm Sayer was an engineer. He was enthralled by the concept of aerodynamics and he was a pioneer, using his experience in this field and applying it to car design. That is why the E-Type is so sleek and gorgeous. Not only does it look superb, the theory behind the style is all there, to make it a truly thrilling driving experience.

But of course, it's not so much what's under the bonnet that strikes you first, it's all about those incredible looks. Even Enzo Ferrari graciously admitted it was the world's 'most beautiful car'. So will you be enchanted by the E-Type on your Jaguar driving day?

And yes, it might be from another decade, but the performance figures still very much add up in today's market. The impressive 4.2l Jaguar engine roars into life on your driving day with 265bhp and a very respectable top speed of 150mph.

Your Jaguar driving day gives you the chance to enjoy an E-Type experience on a fast-paced track. And let's face it, it's not every day you get the chance to drive an E-Type Jaguar, so make sure you savour the moment your name is called out, you walk over to the open door of the Jag and slide into the all-leather driving seat…it's time for your three or six miles is sheer motoring heaven!
