Bridgnorth firm's open event to mark 60th anniversary of iconic Jaguar E-Type is cancelled
A classic car restoration company in Bridgnorth has cancelled its open day to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic Jaguar E‑Type due to the uncertainty created by the pandemic, bosses say.
Classic Motor Cars (CMC), which is one of the leading Jaguar restorers, was due to hold its E-Type 60th open day on August 28.
The company had been looking forward to showcasing some special E-Types, but bosses say due to Covid cases being high in the community and uncertainty about the next few months, the event has been called off.
The firm, which has become world-renowned for preserving the legacy of British motoring, will however be releasing some limited-edition merchandise over the new few weeks to mark the anniversary year.
Nigel Woodward, managing director of the company, said: “We have unfortunately had to make the difficult decision of cancelling this event.
"This is not a decision that we have made lightly. As one of the leading Jaguar restorers, we were very much looking forward to inviting classic car enthusiasts along to our workshop for what would have been a spectacular day showcasing some very special E-Types, some of which we had the great pleasure in restoring and maintaining at CMC.
