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II and Series III E-type, the latter with the brilliant new V12 engine, propel us into the '70s where 1960s' Op Art is superseded by flower power and the hippy culture.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 in 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.
