Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth and Barry Potter fairs celebrate 50 years of the E-Type

E-Type extravaganza at Sandown Park

Big and small E-Types will come together at Sandown Park Race Course, on Saturday 3rd September, when Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth and Barry Potter Fairs celebrate the 50th anniversary of the E-Type Jaguar.

Owners of both the real versions and their toy counterparts are being asked to bring them along to the show which will see Jaguar’s top test driver, Norman Dewis, who originally tested the famous marque, on hand to sign autographs.

If you have a real E-Type you are invited to come along and take part in a free entry Concours d’Elegance, which will see cars displayed outside the famous venue and then judged with prizes awarded.

Bonhams will be on hand to value not only E-Types but also any Jaguars that turn up on the day. Owners are asked to contact Bonhams beforehand to book an appointment time if they wish their car to be valued.

If you have any toy counterparts, bring them along and take part in a miniature Concours d’Elegance, the first time that this has happened anywhere in the world. Vectis Auctions will be running the miniature Concours and providing a toy valuation service.
