Headline: First and last open two-seater E-types confirmed

The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust will be bringing 77 RW and HDU 555N; the very first Open Two-Seater built and the very last E-type off the production line.  As you may know, 77 RW had a dramatic starring role in the E-type launch at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961. Read the continent-crossing story and about both cars on our Feature Cars page which we’ll keep updated with all the notable vehicles confirmed for E-type 60.

The High Tones to play Swinging Shelsley

Confirmed as part of the entertainment for E-type 60 are The High Tones. A four piece band from the Midlands, they were formed with the sole aim of recreating the sounds of the 1960’s. The High Tones cover all the great artists from the era including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Monkees, Van Morrison, The Hollies and The Small Faces to name but a few.

Over the years, this talented quartet have worked alongside many musicians, as well appearing on TV and radio in various projects, performing and recording, as well as touring Europe. Their act pays homage to the fab groove of the greatest musical decade; performing countless hits with real passion and integrity. Their show is guaranteed to help take us back on a magical, melodic journey to the Swinging Sixties.

'This will be an amazing event which I am really looking forward to. Our family garage were Jaguar distributors in Wolverhampton and I was a Jaguar apprentice so I have strong connections with the company and there is still an Attwood Trophy awarded by the MAC each year for sports cars at Shelsley. The E-type was, and is, a stunning car and it is extraordinary to think it is 60 years old. See you at Shelsley Walsh next June.' Richard Attwood
