50 Jaguar E-types could be spotted crossing London today as they travelled in convoy to the 2011 Motorexpo at Canary Wharf.
In celebration of the iconic model’s 50th anniversary E-types were seen passing Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square before arriving in the capital’s business district.
The E-types were lead by a group of professional cyclists who were following the same route to help raise money for Motorexpo’s chosen charity, UK Youth.
Nigel Mansell, former Formula One world champion, joined the cyclists before the event was officially opened upon their arrival.
CEO for Motorexpo, Graeme Carver, said: ‘It’s been a terrific day and a fitting tribute to the E-type – we are incredibly grateful to the police and all the owners for providing their support to make it possible. We all feel honoured to have taken part in such a key celebration of what was, and remains, a landmark car.’
Motorexpo runs from today to the 12 June.
