And back we go, Over the Pond (and also back in time, a tad):
Still gorgeous, after all these years… no voting needed on this one because they’re all equally beautiful.
But it seems only fair that we should also take a little peek into Jag’s future:

Over the pond? They all appear to be LHD Jags. Beautiful cars. Their accoutrements weren’t bad, either.
I also liked Kevin’s (The Smallest Minority) ’08 Jag, but he only had it for a short time. Medical emergency caused him to sell it.
LHD, RHD… the E-type is as British as bad teeth and HP sauce.
A British Racing Green E-type coupe is one of my dream cars. Preferably with a few Triumph motorcycles parked nearby, also in BRG, which is the only proper color for an English vehicle, IMO.
Lead hammer for knock-offs.
The hammer that came with my 120 was brass on one end and rawhide on the other.
I always lusted after an E-type convertible. My father had one in the late 1960s. Cleaned the carbs out every Sunday at 0700. On the Washington Beltway.
Oh, the carb-cleaning procedure was extended operation at over 120mph. He had it up to 150 once. One thing about the E-type was that it rode and handled better the faster it was driven…unlike so many other cars, which went from docile to terrifying when the speedometer topped 100.
That Jaguar, especially the roadster (the coupe always looked a bit bubble-butted to me) is one of the few cars so beautiful it outshines the models posing in and around it.
The new one, though…someone whacked the grille with an ugly stick, and the model and her lovely red dress stand out even more as a result.
Triumph, Royal Enfield, BSA, Norton with pretty girls…
Then Harleys and Indians.
Us motorcycle guys deserve some love.
Rick,
the Norton ads for the Commando in the late 60’s/early 70’s featured the importer’s secretary. I don’t know if she did modeling on the side. Lovely girl. Saw her when we picked up bikes at their facility near the NY port.
No you don’t.
Are there cars in those pictures, funny never saw that…..
