Jaguar E-Type Seminar
July 22, 2021 at 7pm
The Jaguar E-Type, or XKE as it was introduced in the America, is one of the most iconic sports cars of all time.
An unforgettable combination of beauty, power and universal appeal, the E-Type was destined to be a classic the moment it was introduced in 1961. Called by Enzo Ferrari “the most beautiful car in the world” it is among the most sought after collector cars across the globe.
To help celebrate the 60th anniversary of the E-Type, we’ve invited Dean Cusano of Motorcars Incorporated, a Jaguar specialty restoration shop in Plainville, CT to chat with Donald Osborne as they look at a selection of E-Types that show the development of the model and explain its enduring presence.
It should be nearly as compelling a time as a drive in a Jaguar E-Type- well, perhaps not quite so….
Sneak Peak at the Begovich Collection
with Brian Oliver
Thursday, May 13th, 7:00pm EST
When the exhibition “Engineering + Design = Passion: The Nick Begovich Collection” opens in November of this year, it will mark not only the first time that most of these vehicles will be seen by the general public, but also their return to the road after decades of resting in silence.
The Audrain is committed, in our mission of “Preserving, Celebrating and Sharing Automotive History”, to keeping all the cars in the collections in ready, running condition.
As this is being written, specialist experts are slowly and carefully bringing these ‘sleeping beauties’ back to brilliant life. One of the shops chosen for this work is Automotive Restorations, Inc. of Stratford, Connecticut. Join Donald as he chats live with managing partner Brian Oliver about how this company works, the range of cars they have restored, some of their greatest challenges and triumphs.
We’ll also get a glimpse at two to the stars of the Audrain’s Begovich Collection, the 1954 Pegaso Z-102 and the ultra-rare ATS 2500GTS- the spiritual sister of the Ferrari 250GTO and the Alfa Romeo 33. It will be an exciting look “behind the curtain” sure to be a thrill.
Watch live and have the chance to ask Brian and Donald questions about these cars and the choices made in bringing them back to full, glorious life!
