Discover the E Type Story

2011 just happens to be 50 years since the Jaguar E Type was unveiled to an unsuspecting audience.  That was right at the start of the 1960s, before everyone really got swinging and a-groovin.  Back then motoring excitement was confined to those new fangled Fords with their transatlantic styling. 
So it's fair to say that those first viewers probably found the sleek curves and pronounced bonnet bulge a little difficult to cope with.  Even now, 50 years on, the E Type is a symphony of swooping lines with an impossibly low roofline.  It is still voted the most desirable classic car of all time and in many respects has been a noose around Jaguar's neck.  The company tried to move away from the E Type's influence with the svelte XJS but even today you can see the cat-like pounce of the E Type echoed in the current XKR's lines.
With the E Type casting such a long shadow here at The Getaway Driver we thought we'd dust off the baubles and bring out the bunting to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Jaguar E Type in our own special way.  Weve created The E Type Story, which is a driving experience with a twist.  Over a weekend The E Type Story gives you the chance to drive the original E Type and two of its successors - all in their ultimate guises.  So you drive a Series 3 V12 E Type, V12 XJS convertible and a supercharged V8 Jaguar XKR coupe.  The E Type Story is available from our Cotswolds site and includes 2 nights B&B accommodation locally.
We are offering a strictly limited number of 50 E Type Story packages for sale during 2011.  So buy now before they disappear.  For more details visit http://www.thegetawaydriver.co.uk/ or call 01386 792056.
