Jaguar E-Type turning heads at the show
Art Lawrence has restored this particular car himself to a very high standard and is a wonderful example of the very first 2+2s he also has the added bonus of having lived and worked in Germany for some time, which proved invaluable during the show.
Being a German show, many German classics are there in huge numbers, from BMW, Mercedes and the VW group with halls showcasing their history and developments, but what’s really nice to see is the large number of British classics on display. And the interest that our British classic received on our stand was very encouraging.
Assisting on the stand this year was Joachim Lausmann (Current German Coordinator), Bernd Lang (German Regional Coordinator for Rhein), Peter Purdom (JEC Chairman), Art Lawrence and his wife Eileen (E-Type Forum Coordinator), Jennie and me, James Blackwell (JEC’s Assistant General Manager).
All's good under the hood
Providing the gift shop, membership help and advice, technical assistance and coffee, the team were kept constantly busy and members from all over the world visited the stand with people from Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Hungry, Czech Republic, Sweden, USA and many more supporting the notion that we truly are an international Club.
Jaguar Land Rover also had an official presence themselves with their Classic department focusing on Land Rover, but Jaguar was represented with a TWR XJS and a couple of E-Types promoting their new operation at Browns Lane, providing restoration services.
The five-day Techno Classica show is the perfect opportunity to meet our international members and to reach out to a new audience and this year was no exception with plenty of renewals and new members welcomed to the Club.
