Thanks guys, but it's really down to the XK. The British car industry seemed to know where it was going in those days. I actually prefer these fifties models to the later and more famous E-types.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Beautifully shot Andrew, I love the detail of the fan behind the grille. Do you have one of these?

I wish... I've an old BMW Z3 which is in lovely condition and offers the illusion of classic motoring, at least! It's roughly the same the colour as this XK!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Nice shot - nice car

At least with your Z3 Andrew you can be forgiven for expecting it to start when you turn the key

As much as I love these old cars - the convenience of the reliability of later cars is a powerful attraction as well
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.
