1020bhp lines up at Great Escape

Great Escape Classic Car Hire lined up its fleet of four Jaguar E Type cars for a rare photoshoot this week. The cars, which are normally based in Yorkshire, Worcestershire and Suffolk, gathered in Worcestershire for the first time in 5 years.

The Great Escape brace of white Jaguar E Type V12 convertibles, E Type V12 coupe and E Type 4.2 coupe have a combined horsepower of over 1000bhp from 36 cylinders. Our Worcestershire site is normally home to one white convertible and the V12 coupe. The rare gathering occurred when we pulled in our second white E Type from Yorkshire for a customer and our red 4.2 Series 2 E Type returned from the garage after a £5,000 refurbishment. The white car will return to Yorkshire shortly and the red car will rejoin the Suffolk fleet at the end of the week.

Great Escape Classic Car Hire has the largest fleet of classic cars for hire in the UK, including the widest choice of Jaguar E Types for hire in the world. Demand for E Types for hire has soared in 2011 thanks to the 50th anniversary of the car's launch in 1961.

"It was a rare treat for us to have all the E Types in one place," explains Graham Eason of Great Escape. "Lining up these cars together just demonstrated how beautiful the E Type is - whether in Series 2 or Series 3 guise."
