The all-new F-TYPE, driven by Jaguar Academy of Sports Ambassador Jessica Ennis, made its UK dynamic debut in front of a crowd of over 500,000 people at this year's Lord Mayor's Show inLondon.

With a stunning display of old and new, the F-TYPE made its way through the City ofLondonaccompanied by two E-Types and got a great reception as it passed by the grandstands.

 JessicaEnniscommented: "It was great being part of the Lord Mayor's Show in the Jaguar F-TYPE. I was amazed how many people turned out to watch the procession." 

Bringing up the rear were two of the most famous E-Types ever built, Chassis No. 4 and No. 24, which were restored by Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth and showed the strong historic links existing between the two models.

PageantmasterDominicReidOBEsaid: "It was a great honour for us to welcome such an outstanding Olympian asJessicaEnnisto the Lord Mayor's Show. It was wonderful how the crowd reacted to her."

He added: "It was great to see Jaguar Cars back in the parade and the new F-TYPE making itsUKdebut supported by two important E-Types. This was particularly poignant as my father's E-Type was driven in the show in 1973 byGrahamHill."

This year's event saw more than 6,500 people, 21 carriages, aShermantank and a steamroller taking part, which filled the whole area between Mansion House and the Royal Courts of Justice in Aldwych. The procession was cheered by thousands of people and watched live on the BBC by millions more who sawJessicaEnnisdrive the all-new F-TYPE.
