Unless you’ve been in Motoring purdah for the whole of 2011, you’ll know that this year is the 50th anniversary of the debut of the Jaguar E-Type at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, and Jaguar are making the most of the anniversary at every step. But this time it’s not Jaguar who are making the most of the E-Type’s birthday, it’s the organisers of the 2011 Motorexpo in Canary Wharf, who’ve teamed up with the Jaguar’s Driving Club to drive fifty E-Types across London and out to Canary Wharf to kick of this year’s show.

Aston Martin flies the new Lagonda to Muscat with Oman Air

Aston Martin flies the new Lagonda to Muscat with Oman Air Back in July, Aston Martin confirmed the revival of Lagonda with a short run of a Lagonda Super Saloon to be sold exclusively in the Middle East. At that time, all we had was a dark photo showing the new Lagona’s silhouette but now, as Aston start to test the new Lagonda, we get a proper photo (above and below). The photo of the new Lagonda shows its arrival in Muscat – courtesy of Oman Air – as the new Lagonda is flown out to Oman to begin its testing.
