#motoring #art #jaguar This year the beautiful Jaguar E-type will be 50 years old. Historic Car Art has commissioned two pieces to celebrate this at the forth coming Race Retro Historic Motorsport Show. The first is "On the Prowl" by John Ketchell. This acrylics on canvas work shows the 1961 Oulton Park GT Race  and Graham Hill about to overtake Roy Salvadori to take the maiden victory for the E-type.
