Mike

You may have already seen it, but here's earlier post which includes a clip of Mike Hailwood arriving at Spa in his E-type FHC in 1964:

Simon,
Just found these pictures of the first E Type Mike Hailwood ever owned, it was fun to have a ride in it back in 1961 and even more fun to drive it up at Jaguar Heritage, Fen End!.....It brought back fond memories!

Ah - that's the one I saw being used to give Heritage Experiences when I was up there.

I also recognise that shot over the bonnet as you return towards the complex - although I'm sure in the D-type you had the speedo wound significantly more clockwise than in that photo! :wink:
