The star of the Los Angeles Auto Show – and now the star car in Jaguar’s lineup – was the very appealing Jaguar F-Type Coupe. And now the UK is about to get – a very limited – public viewing of Jaguar’s new |F-Type Coupe. This coming Sunday – the 8th December – sees the Jaguar Academy of Sport Annual Awards at the Royal Opera House in London and, apart from the Sports Stars, the star of the night will be the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe.

The Jaguar Academy of Sport Annual Awards will be hosted by Larry Lamb Jnr, Gerge Lamb, who managed to get in on the act in LA and will be on hand to introduce the awards with the aid of Sky Sports F1 presenter Natalie Pinkham.

The award winners were judged by a panel made up of  Denise Lewis, Dame Kelly Holmes, Sir Steve Redgrave and Mark Foster (Jaguar Ambassadors all) together with Des Kelly from BT Sport and Nick Harris from the Mail on Sunday.

The awards to be made include:

In addition, there will be awards for five of the Academy’s 50 Rising Stars and they will also award  a British sporting icon with the Jaguar Academy of Sport Patrons Award for Sporting Legacy.

George Lamb said:

It was an honour to be at the reveal of the new F-TYPE Coupé in Los Angeles. It really is a stunning car and one that has achieved unanimous praise worldwide. It is going to look fantastic at the Royal Opera House for the Jaguar Academy of Sport Annual Awards which I’m delighted to be hosting this year.

It may not be the most public appearance the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe will make, but it’s a glittering start for the new Jaguar in the UK nonetheless.
