Just heard on Radio 2:-

Major feud brewing at a Classic Car Show as to who has the best car.

It's between the Montegos and the Cabriolets....

Now we are talking, that's some gorgeous looking car. Jaguar XK140 if I'm not mistaken.

Arguably best looking car ever made? Especially as it was in the early to mid 1950's.

That's not a standard colour though. White or Cream works best imo.

I don't think this is an original car it seems it could be a 'Replica' hence the non original colour.

Although it seems they did come in this type of colour so it may be original.

Quite surprised, I've never seen one that colour.

Still utterly beautiful though.

If it were an original, as opposed to a "replica", it would be worth very serious money at Auction.

For me anything TVR is worth a shout.

Nothing like a classic Jaguar as there's just something about them.

That is sad.

I don't drive. But I have always been fascinated by Jags.

Also given me 1 of my favourite lines ever. I used to play at rather higher stakes at poker than I do now. And the house rule has always been that on the rare occasions I win more than £10,000 I give half to my Wife.

My mother-in-law is lovely. But let's just say she is not short of an opinion.

She's lecturing my Wife some years back about she shouldn't be letting me play all this poker nonsense. And my Wife (bless her) said-

"Mum. you know my Jag..."

That Jaguar XJ 5.3C is a real beaut. Not sure I've ever seen the Coupe version.
