Ray
Sharp's 1961 E-Type FHC Car Featured at the 2011 New
York International Auto Show
April 22 -May 1, 2011
The New York International Auto
Show takes place every year at the Jacob K. Javits
Convention Center in New York City.
Jaguar, celebrating the 50th
aniversary of the E-Type, incorporated vintage
E-Types into the 2011 show to publicize the latest
Jaguar models.
Jaguar shipped in around 2 dozen
E-Types from around the tri-state area for the
event - most were on show outside the Javits Center,
and a few more were on display at the place across
town where a separate E-Type Extravaganza took
place.
Ray's car was one
of those latter ones on display (two were outside
the extravaganza event location and one was on
display inside the Javits Center). It is expected
that they selected Ray's' 61 Coupe because it
is a '61 and because it looked stunning on the
stand, and really complemented the new Jags on
display. Ray's other E-Type was one of those on
show outside the Javits Center.
Ray's car was restored
by Lippincott's Garage in 2000.
