The Lindner Lightweight E-type, Lofty England’s E-type Roadster – the fourth ever built – and the first right-hand-drive fixed head coupé have all been confirmed to take part in The E-type Club’s Round Britain Coastal Drive, which kicks off on 12 September.
The famous E-types will join organiser Philip Porter’s Geneva launch car on a tour of Britain’s coast to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK, with each featuring along the route. Nearly 100 other cars are also set to take part, with entrants coming from as far afield as the United States and mainland Europe.
Five-times Le Mans winner Derek Bell will flag the cars off at Goodwood, while a number of famous names will take to the wheel during the course of the event, including Michael Quinn, grandson of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons, and Adrian Hamilton, son of Le Mans winner Duncan Hamilton.
