\"\"<\/a>The Guinness World Records confirmed a new record was set for the \u2018largest parade of Jaguar cars\u2019 when 767 Jaguar E-types took part in a special parade lap of the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit as part of the 2011 Silverstone Classic.
\nThe event marked a major celebration of the 50th birthday of the Jaguar E-type, first produced in 1961. More than 1000 E-types were on-site and the vast majority of these took to the Grand Prix circuit on Saturday for a unique parade. Although in excess of 800 E-types took to the famous grand prix track, the record of 767 is based on the number of participating cars meeting the strict record verification criteria.
\n“The whole Silverstone Classic weekend set many new records, both on and off the track,” said event director Nick Wigley. “The icing on the cake is to have achieved a new Guinness World Record for the number of Jaguars on parade. It was an incredible sight to see so many examples of the beautiful and iconic E-type four abreast stretching all around the full Silverstone Grand Prix circuit.”
\nGetting over 800 E-types on and off the Silverstone track presented a considerable logistical challenge and the result was an unrivaled display of one of the most beautiful sports cars ever produced. Owners came from across Europe, from North America, Mexico and Australia to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime event.

\nAmong the 2011 Silverstone Classic parade entrants were some special examples of the E-type, including cars with registration numbers 9600 HP, 77 RW and 848 CRY as well as the Lindner\/Nocker low-drag racer.
\n9600 HP is the oldest surviving E-type and the only 1960 prototype in existence. It was the original launch car, the 150 mph road test car and the subject of the book \u2018The Most Famous Car in the World\u2019. 77 RW is the earliest surviving production roadster and an original press car. 848 CRY was the twelfth roadster produced and the most active racing E-type in 1961; it also appeared in the film \u2018The Italian Job\u2019. The Lindner\/Nocker low-drag lightweight racer was one of the 12 original Lightweight E-types, raced in 1963\/64 by Peter Lindner and Peter Nocker and the subject of a famous recent restoration.<\/p>\n
