My Dream Car

FIrst I have to admit I've had plenty of car dreams come true - 4 Lotuses, a half-dozen hot Buicks, etc. and what I haven't owned I've been able to drive - Fast Fords, Ferraris and so forth, and driven to places and on tracks I'd never imagined - Laguna S...

I somehow managed to forget about this one. It might just be the prettiest Jag made to my eyes. Cheers, Filip

Better than the E-Type or XK140 (but not a "real" car in the production sense)

Better than the XJ8 Well, I guess it's not as noble as this car. Mike ...

smooth and rounded shape yes but much more dramatic, and beautiful

I like TVRs - they sound nice and are fun to drive but they're not in the same beauty contest as this Jag especially sound nice when you are following through the South of France. ...  

Gorgeous car! Definitely make it your own if you get a chance.

(I am so glad cars “aren’t my thing). It’s the disease I don’t need (I have enough trouble with watches, books and art 😀)

tell me about it! I need to give up cars :-(

but I just bought one ... this really caught my eye but this is the one I bought a few patches of carbon fibre on the hood and fenders, and no one will notice the $110k difference. ...  

Haha. LOL

Interesting point of view Mike...
