Londoners were greeted with the unusual sight of 50 Jaguar E-types as a fleet of privately owned vehicles travelled in convoy to the 2011 Motorexpo in Canary Wharf, marking 50 years of the sports car in style.
Organised by the Jaguar Drivers’ Club, the convoy started its journey under police escort at Forbes House in central London, home of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
The route took in landmarks including Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square before arriving at Canary Wharf where the cars lined up on display.
Leading the convoy was a team of professional cyclists joined by ex-Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell, supporting Motorexpo’s chosen charity, UK Youth.
