Classic British sports car Jaguar E-Type 1961 issue of accelerating to 235 km / h in an effort to repeat the record of half a century ago.
In no-limit German Autobahn British champion in the race to raise the hill by David Franklin on the Jaguar E-Type 1961 chassis number 860 001 (first built right-hand drive version with a hard top) clocked up to 235 km / h (146 miles per hour), trying to repeat the record 1961.
Half a century ago, an authoritative publication Autocar went for the speed tests in Belgium and failed to show on the road 150 miles per hour top speed. Today restored to Classic Motor Cars Ltd specifically for the 150 sports car magazine Octane tried to repeat this achievement.
Jaguar E-Type, released July 10, 1961, passed a full technical inspection, got new wheels with new tires Avon CR6 Z and a little could not reach the record — as noted by the pilot if the highway was empty of other machines, 150 miles per hour have been achieved.
