The Red Room, a bit to much for the eyes, the room that is, not the shot. I never knew that a Rover Estate was produced if only two of them. Do you know why it did not make it to production?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

At least like some of the newer Ferrari's it does not look like a wide mouthed frog ;D

That Dusey is a doozy. ;)

That Rover reminds me of my father's early-70s Renault 16 (he was a Volvo/Renault dealer for a while)... blecch.

As the advert says:

"You should've gone to Specsavers*!" (*Other opticians are available)

IMO the finest "roadgoing" Jags are the XJR-15 and the XK180. :)

First 200 mph (217 mph top speed) super car. And if anyone saw the episode of Top Gear, in a drag race it trounced the Pagani Zonda (and I think the  McLaren F1 and Ferrari F40 too) and this was with a V6 and not the planed V12. So imagine what it could have done if emission regulations had not strangled the project.

Without looking, didn't the F40 do 208mph? That would've been 1988 or 9...

egit: (201mph/1987 apparently...) :)

Not wrong there, I was lucky enough to stumble across an XK180 at Elvington back in 2005.

The oddest thing is, during year 9/10 at school (1995/6/7), I drew up a concept Jag based on the D-Type image...

...and when the XK180 appeared, it was nigh on identical! ;D

It's probably in my garage somewhere. :)
