Lipscomb is to attempt a Guinness world record for the largest parade of

Did you know that on the 1957 Earls Court International Motor Exhibition
both the Elite and Seven have been introduced? This event was held from
16.–26.10.1957. I did put the 50th anniversary on the calendar.
And how about the Elan, that was introduced on the 1962 Earls Court
International Motor Exhibition, this event was held from 17.–27.10.1962. I
did put the 45th anniversary on the calendar.
And also the Elan +2, that was introduced in September 1967! I did put the
40th anniversary on the calendar.
