Shot for British Vogue in 1961 on the newly opened M1 motorway. The E-Type Jaguar was the very first convertible that had rolled out of the factory and was the talk of the town at the Geneva Motor Show that year.
Today, it is the oldest surviving Series 1 Roadster built in February 1961. This photograph was published in British Vogue on the 1st of June 1961. The car is still turning heads and was featured with Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66owXqZaexs It was also used in Pippa Middleton's wedding ceremony.
