Unlikely survivor, XJ12




 Someone once said, "Every man should own a 12 cylinder car at some point in their life".
 If so, this one might be in my price range. I'm uncertain of the age of this car, but parked on the remains of a snowbank in late winter, its paint probably never having seen wax (the last picture is the actual condition of the paint...) it seems it's more of a driver than a show car.

  1. A colleague of mine had a Mustang II, red, with paint in that condition (maybe worse). I always wanted to polish and wax about one square foot of the hood when he wasn't looking.

  3. Many years ago a friend and I painted a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide in that color...we had it ordered through an automotive paint shop. The results were stunning.
