77 RW was the first E-Type roadster built. It is possible a picture of Norman Dewis, the Jaguar test driver, who drove the car to the Geneva Motorshow in 1961. It was later used as a press demonstrator and was featured in The Motor in March 1961.

That sounds very plausible, but the eailer pic doesn't have white-wall tyres - I don't recall him changing them on the way? Also no foreign plate on the rear, so possibly a different outing?

Perhaps Jaguar had taken the white walls down with 9600 HP when it was transported. The Swiss plates and whitewalls being added after Dewis got there when the press drove the car around Geneva.

I'd guess they swapped the tyres and chrome wires when he got there for show purposes. Sir William Lyons was a stickler for correct detail.

The temporary plates were probably a Swiss requirement.

The central market of Haarlem in the 1920s. This square is a pedestrianized zone now, and the city got rid of the last tram lines in 1957.
