TWO IMPORTANT EVENTS IN ENGLAND: THE JUBILEE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II AND THE CENTENARY OF THE JAGUAR BRAND
Everyone would have liked to be present at the great event in honor of Queen Elizabeth II of England, for her 70 years of reign.
An epochal event not only for the subjects of the sovereign, but also for historical cars fans. In fact, the most beautiful cars of the prestigious brands that have made the British automotive industry famous throughout the world are parades in the course of scenographic and allegorical preparations. All the four-wheeled excellences walked the avenue that leads to the royal residence of Buckingham Palace, among a huge crowd celebrating their sovereign.
Jaguar and Land Rover participated with 26 special cars: from the famous and unsurpassed Jaguar E-Type spider in rare specimens, including one in a recently restored metallic blue livery, to the 1948 Land Rover, the first off-road vehicle designed by Maurice Wilks in 1947 and inspired by the American jeeps of the 2nd World War. Her Majesty's famous Defenders were present as well as three cars that took part in the filming of famous 007 films, such as the Defender and the Jaguar XKR, the powerful 1998 sports car.
For the Jaguar brand, 2022 is also the year that marks the centenary of the group's foundation, which originated from the entrepreneurial talent of the English engineer William Lyons and his coachbuilders including Malcom Sayer.
After the Second World War, large sedan models such as the Mark VII and Mark IX were produced, which competed victoriously in the famous Le Mans 24 Hours race.
But the worldwide success came with the launch of the 1961 E-Type, a revolutionary car in terms of design, aesthetic qualities and driving characteristics, which placed it in 1st place among the Top Sport Cars of the Sixties.
