12 - 13 June 2021 - Shelsley Walsh
CELEBRATING 60 YEARS since the LAUNCH of the E-TYPE and the SPECTACULAR 'SWINGING SIXTIES’
This weekend will be action-packed with activity on the hill each day and all day, together with entertainment focused on the
'60s and its outrageous trends.
​
Featuring 9600 HP the original launch press car and the oldest Jaguar E-type.
​
Including a display of all 13 models of
E-type and introducing guest star the
Mini - unique icons of the '60s combining to illustrate the revolution in car design and lifestyle.
The Series II and Series III E-type, the latter with the brilliant new V12 engine, propel us into the '70s where 1960s' Op Art is superseded by flower power and the hippy culture.

E-type History & Style
For many the E-type is simply the most beautiful car ever produced. They top every poll.
​
Jaguar’s heritage is second to none with seven Le Mans wins (five in the 50s and two in the 60s), international rally successes, record-breaking, race wins on every continent and a loyal following in Hollywood with many of the biggest stars of the day.

1960s' Style
Traders specialising in 1960s' trends. Enjoy entertainment in 1960s' style. Appreciate art representing the sea-change in design.
To many the E-type is simply the greatest sports car of all time. It has everything: sensuous sculptural beauty, allied to superb performance, as proven by its successful career on the race track, and, above all, is a fantastically enjoyable car to drive and utterly usable.
This beauty is no prima donna.
Our 'E-type 60' event next June at Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb is designed to be a fitting tribute to the sensational E-type and a fabulous celebration of the car and the period into which it was born, a period when people and cars could be free spirits.
