Weather was marginal, and Matt was COLD most all day long, but saw some sweet cars and good racing.

Jaguar XJ-13, absolutely gorgeous.

Finally, a sweet 190E 2.3-16 we saw. This was made to compete with the E30 M3 back in the day.

:shifty

Nice pics. I was going to come down for it, but I was way to hung over and it wouldn't have been as fun, being as cold as it was.

:shifty
:lol

I had gotten home a little after 5am saturday night (sunday morning) so the pounding on our door by brian at 9am was kinda shitty.

And I'm guessing Matt wasn't awake yet. That's a shock. :rolleyes

Could you tell what kit it was from or was it a one off? Shame Jag didnt build more than 1 which stays in their museum.

You know as much about it as we do, sadly. It was HAWT.

Matt

The XJ-13 looked pretty authentic. Me & Matt were trying to figure out what it was yesterday, completely ignoring the license plate...:confused

There are usually some money Jags at the Mitty. For a couple years or so, somebody brought out an XK-SS. OMG, that might be one of the prettiest cars EVER. He would even leave it sitting out in the rain.

I think my dad said there are only a few left in the world, and are valued at $1 million-plus. When I saw the arse-end of that one, I thought it might be an XK-SS, but alas it was not.

Carter

Nice pics, but that is not a Shelby GT350. That is a coupe cloned up as a shelby. Shelbys were fastbacks (and in later years, convertibles), not coupes.

:)

This is what a shelby should look like.

A very cool car. I remember reading about someone duplicating it by hand and spent $$$$$$ doing it. One of the best looking cars from england. I cant remember the full history, but the orginal molds etc used to form the skin were destroyed in a fire or something. The orginal was wrecked and it took them great effort to rebuild it for the Museum. There are a few kits out there plus a small handfull of one offs built for super rich collectors etc. My ideal dream garage woudl start with one of those, GT40 and Muira P400SV.
