Or maybe.......

For me, the styling on the TR is much better resolved... and it looks so much better on slightly bigger wheels with a lower stance.

Sun is out and today I really rather fancy one of these, would love to drive one through France enroute to the Le Mans Classic.

Old racing Jags rock.

Big brother of the C also triggers extreme desire... (originally Bernie Ecclestone's car, and the only red D I've ever seen)

Not much of a racing history, so 'only' around half the value of the Le Mans winner that fetched $20M a couple of years back!

Those curves are just obscene

[L100NYY]

Oh

One of those or a D Type for a morning blast down to The Revival would be utter heaven for lil' ol' tweedy Loon

Harris's Mille Miglia run in a C is always worth a watch...

'original keeper Mr Juan Manuel Fangio'

'290 bhp, 900kg, drum brakes'

Not sure of Harris' life story but he's definitely got to a good place.

[Chris Stott]

Related on a couple of levels...

One of my favorite car video's of all time... Harris at Goodwood TT in the Lister Jag.

WHAT A NOISE

Could have sworn there was a much longer video of this originailly.

And while I'm at it... Kenny Brack. In a GT40. In the wet. With castors fitted instead of rear wheels.

Snap oversteer in straight line? Meh, just keep your foot in and saw at the wheel

[Output Flange]

Always quite fancied a go in a Westfield XI. Any good?

I remember him starting out as a junior at Autocar many years ago, but I don't know where he got the money to buy stuff like 996GT2's, or have Tuthill build him that amazing ST rep whilst he was a motoring journo (didn't think it paid that well!).

I've always liked his writing and videos... and he clearly knows how to pedal a car!!

Good one Moose.

I thought I remembered him saying he had a 205 when he started at Autocar... an XS.

Yup. There's a lot of money in there from somewhere but he'd done well.

One wonders how well anyone could do if they were effectively given a massive headstart in life to do whatever it was they wanted to without worrying about the inconvenience of financially sustaining yourself. See also: Shmee (and many of "that" crowd).

I'd like one too, this one looks like fun with 1.8 k series and 150 bhp

That is utterly fantastic!

I've driven a couple and they are so much fun and oh so utterly slideable
