The Goodwood Festival of Speed is marking the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Jaguar E-type with a 28-metre high sculpture of the famous sports car.
Weighing in at 150 tonnes, the sculpture has been erected right in front of Goodwood House and will be on display for the duration of the Festival of Speed, which runs from 1-3 July.
Made from 500 metres of steel tube, the sculpture uses materials made by Jaguar's parent company, Tata. It was designed by Gerry Judah, who said: "The E-type is famous for its shape but too small and delicate to hoist into the air. I thought I would like to express the form of the car itself without any embellishments. Everyone recognises the E-type, the shape speaks for itself. You can't compete with it, you can't digress from it."
Geoff Cousins, Managing Director, Jaguar said: "Jaguar has always been proud of its heritage and we feel particularly honoured to have been asked to provide the Goodwood sculpture for a second time. The E-type captures the essential beauty, drama and passion of every Jaguar - engineering and design DNA that is equally apparent in the current range."
