V12 50 year anniversary in 2021

[Barry]

Justifiably, there is a lot of interest in the 60 year anniversary of the E-type. Many events organised for next year, but unless I’ve missed something, there is nothing about the 50 year anniversary of the V12. Don’t forget, this was also the launch of the fabulous V12 engine. The E-type Club certainly is missing out on this to the chagrin of many of its members!

Hi Barrie...yes you are probably correct.......have you approached tbe E type club......maybee its incorporated in the 60th?....Steve

I did make contact but it fell on deaf ears. Of course the emphasis there will always be on a certain 9600 HP! I will not give up...

Similar thing for the Series 2. I started a thread but there was no real concensus on a location or day.
I should have had more drive but sadly i lost interest... Good Luck.

When my car was 50 years old i took it by myself to Gaydon British Motor Museum for the day.

A forthcoming E-type Club magazine will be dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the V12 and there will be plenty of V12 focus at E-type 60.

Thank you Louise. Many of us E-type owners will look forward to seeing articles in the magazine, and looking forward to both the 60th and 50th celebrations in June.
