    • Brand new 'Lightweight' Jaguar E-type is for sale
      Fancy a brand new Lightweight Jaguar E-type that is as close as you will get to the real deal at a fraction of the multi-million-pound price of one of the original 12? Then you'll get your chance at H&H's Motorexpo private sale showcase at Canary Wharf in June. Dubbed Lightweight number 14, this 1963 car is the result of the painstaking 7000-hour restoration of the Lindner-Nocker factory Low Drag Lightweight that was finally finished last year. How so?

      The 1940s Relived – at Brooklands this Saturday – will pay tribute to the men, women and machines that defeated Nazi Germany as the race track and aerodrome became key to the allied war effort. The war years meant aircraft manufacturers Vickers-Armstrong and Hawker took exclusive control of the site and, with 14,000 workers to call on, production of aircraft went into overdrive. By the end of the war Brooklands had produced 2515 Wellington Bombers, 842 Vickers Warwicks and more than 3000 of Britain’s second great fighter – the Hawker Hurricane. read more
