Seventy-five modern and vintage models will travel through the city centre before going on to a heritage motor festival near Chichester.

The Lord Mayor will start the drive, which will include a visit to London's Mayfair Hotel, site of the first Jaguar launch in 1935.

The individually-numbered cars from across the years include the E-type.

They will make the 175-mile journey in two days.

Most cars will be privately-owned and driven by their owners.

They will be joined by some of the most famous cars from Jaguar's own heritage collection and a selection of its latest models.
