EDITORS COMMENTS
In this electrifying photograph, nineteen-year-old Prince Michael of Kent, born in 1942, is seen driving an E-type Jaguar at breakneck speed on the iconic Brands Hatch race track in April 1962. Fresh off his recent achievement of becoming a member of the prestigious Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) just a week prior, the prince had passed his test in a Mini, but the allure of the sleek and powerful Jaguar proved too strong to resist. The E-type Jaguar, a British automotive icon, was known for its stunning design and impressive performance. With its long hood, short deck, and aerodynamic lines, the car was a favorite among enthusiasts and racers alike. In the capable hands of Prince Michael, the E-type reached breathtaking speeds of over 100 miles per hour on the winding tracks of Brands Hatch. The image captures the essence of the young prince's passion for motoring and his natural talent behind the wheel. Dressed in a stylish suit and driving gloves, he looks focused and determined as he navigates the twists and turns of the race track. The contrast between the elegant prince and the raw power of the Jaguar adds an intriguing element to the photograph, highlighting the allure of the automotive world and the thrill of the open road. This photograph is a testament to Prince Michael's love for cars and racing, which he has continued to pursue throughout his life. His passion for motorsports has taken him to the Le Mans 24-hour race and even led him to compete in the British Saloon Car Championship in the 1970s. Today, he remains an active patron of various motoring organizations and continues to be a beloved figure in the world of royalty and automobiles.
