Classics dwarfed by moderns

I suspect I'm doing this wrong but it looked so preposterous I couldn't not. And the Espada is a good four years older than the A110. Ahem. Anyway, it made me smile

Am AMG Merc cabrio ( I don’t know which one, as new cars get an attention span of about one second...) parked next to my 98 XJR yesterday, and dwarfed it ??
Probably an E220 diesel cabriolet with AMG badges all over it I’d rather have my lovely Old Jaaaag though.

I've spotted a XJS on my way home a couple of times over the past couple of weeks, damn near everything around it seemed to dwarfs it's dainty proportions (barring length). I overtook it once and the difference in seating height! It'd probably be on par with an Elise or at least felt like it anyway, and my XK isn't the highest seating of cars either.
Hartlepool is a damned strange place, a great deal of poverty with the odd pricey motor (Conti GT's largely) but there seems to be a thriving classic car base in and around the area as well, TR4/TR6's, the usual smattering of MGB's, Audi 80 (though I think this one is run by an old chap, probably from new), the aforementioned XJS and a, largely, rust free Cavalier (in white, I spotted a bit of the brown stuff on a rear wheel arch).

No shortage of cash there!
Brand new Bentley’s Ferrari’s And Lambo’s every year....
But he actually lives in Yarm, where the mums pick up their little darlings from school in the Range Rover Sport.
