Guinness World Record bid
14 June 2015
MMOC insurance partners Footman James are teaming up with Coventry Transport Museum in an attempt to set two new Guinness World Records in June.
The event forms part of the celebrations for the relaunch of Coventry Transport Museum following a £9m transformation project. The organisers aim to bring together over 2,000 classic cars, including 1,000 classic jaguars, to break the Guinness World Records for the Largest Parade of Classic Cars and the Largest Parade of Jaguar Cars.
The current record for the Largest Parade of Classic Cars was set in Mexico City in 2014, and stands at 1,674 vehicles, while the Largest Parade of Jaguar Cars is currently held by organisers of the Silverstone Classic, who organised a parade of 767 E-types in 2011.
The record attempts are planned for Sunday 14 June 2015, the week before the museum’s official relaunch, and organisers are encouraging classic car owners to get involved by registering to bring their vehicles to the streets of Coventry on the day. The route of the parade, which must measure at least two miles in order to meet Guinness World Record rules, will start at the Ricoh Arena and will include part of the city’s famous inner ring road. To qualify for the parade, each car taking part must be at least 30 years old and be presented with its original registration documents on the day of the event.
If you would like to take part, please register your interest no later than 15 May by completing the online Expression of Interest form on the Footman James website. Further details and confirmation of entry will be sent out after this date.
