Nice pics, looks suspiciously like a Jaguar D-Type to me.
Lovely stuff Felix. Any Ferrari 250 GTOs?

With a Harrod's "Ford Products built in England" delivery van behind?  Obviously  a Jaguar D-Type  (and the owner still races it - the windscreen is in less-than-pristine condition.

Photos taken at the British Cars and Motorcycles Show in Winter Park, Florida 5-APR-2003.

Guess I shouldn't bother posting some of the other TDs, TFs, MGA, MGB/MGC, Spitfires, Minis, .... XK-120s, Alvis, '36 Rolls lying about...

Beautiful! I  hate to see car laid up in storage & it's good to see the owner uses the car for what it was intended - racing :)

Any Astons? Lagondas? Bentleys?

I'd like to see the Rolls...... & the Alvis.....

The only Aston I saw was a Vantage - on the way out.  Bently Azure coupe by a dealer .. No Lagondas.  What surprised me is that some of the cars in the show are still "daily drivers"

Another Jaguar

'36 Rolls Royce

Alvis

Oh - and the one behind the Alvis is a '50 Riley sedan
