Just thought I would post a few pictures of my recent visit to Geneva.

Ok , I give in, which one is you and which one is your car

I will not lay claim to owning any of the cars.

I had the pleasure of using E-Type UK's demonstrator which is the series 1 ? Gun Metal Roadster for the 3 day event which was hosted by Jaguar.

As normal I took lots of pictures but was always behind the camera.

I would like to thank Harry for loaning me his car, the opportunity to blast along Lake Geneva with the roof down was amazing.

The picture of the gentlemen above is Mr Tata (Jag and Land Rover Owner) and Sir William Lyons Grandson.

I am sure a few more pictures of the event will appear in various mag's.

Dear all,

I just visited the "current" Geneva car show and among all of the new wonder cars, concept cars, one off cars etc. , I was drawn to only one car on that show, guess which one :)

Yes, the guy with the "nerdy" smile is me...

Anybody know which car this is (it is not HP9600)?

cheers
Erik

I think it is the original Geneva Show car which was sold to someone in Switzerland and has remained there. 9600 HP was used for test drives and the launch in the Parc.

If you would like to see some more pictures of our wonderful trip Geneva please visit the news page on e-type uk main site.

I'm certainly up for 100 anniversary which would make me the same age as Norman.

Nice picture Erik (and great place to be

)
if this is indeed the 1961 Geneva Show car , it is car N? 885005 (see on xkedata.com)
