Closest I can think would be Conway Yellow over Pembroke Coral, an unholy alliance Dagenham would not have offered.....Most likely the card is the result of hand-tinting the negative, hence the rather bilious Series IV Oxford.

Aye, invariably in the freezing bastard cold in my memory.

With you on that.....

Relatively uncommon though the Bond Equipe (a late GT4S model) may have been on British streets, I think there is something even less commonly seen squeezed between the MkIII Zephyr and the Mini - looks like a P3 Taunus in there.

It is a typical example of a British sports car that soldiered on for far too long, picking up middle-aged weight, saggy detailing and inappropriate trinkets along the way. Having to pander to the septics didn't help, either.

I, too, seem to fly in the face of conventional Jag-fancying....I'd sooner have a pre-Mk2 3.4 than the oft-touted later cars and my dream XK spec would be a spatted 140 FHC with disc wheels. Having been horrified in a highly-illegal motorway dash in an early 4.2, I've no wish to further my E Type ex...

Neither is there any such thing as a "genuine Vintage" Jaguar. Those wheels do look shit, too.
