The 'E' Type Forum

E type 30th anniversary.. any forum members present?

I think I was there, although I could be confusing it with the 40th anniversary. The shame about the film is that we do not know who any of the people talking were

Yes I was there and had the 1991 E Type 1000 sticker in my car for the next 20 years until Silverstone 2011.

Yes I was there, I seem to remember a SWB series 3 OTS special that had turned up.

The fella in the suit is Ken Baker and the chap in the paris -dakar rally jacket and the red racing suit is Paul Webb.

I dunno whether it's because I've emigrated, but that's a very 'atmospheric' film that seems already to have been from another era, even though I raced classic bikes around there at the time.

I'm not a Jazz fan but that music must've been old-fashioned by then and the first two characters reminded me of Bootsie and Snudge - especially the little 'Alfie Bass' fellah. For a 1991 film to remind me of a little-remembered comedy series from the early Sixties it must be old before its time. I suppose it could all have been planned to reflect 1961...?

Near the end, one of the guys standing to the right in the group shots with a jumper pattern XXXX looks like Peter Wilson, so I guess they must have been ex-Jag people in those groups. Shame about the crunched Mk2.
