A hard frost but then a crystal clear winter day brought some cars out in Wellington.

Wednesday at Luton Hoo. Raj with her BRG XJS on the road. Beauty of a 541 that was also at the London classic car show the other week.

Spotted this truck yesterday in South Devon.

Not ideal for our road system ….

Early car with suicide doors. The same as my first car. Loved it. Went to the Costa Brava in 1975 with 4 passengers and myself. Must all have been very skinny in those days. Luggage on the rear rack and roof rack. It took a while and we needed the 4-weeks holiday to recuperate.

Hi Rocky, really nice car you have there. Raj really enjoy hers. She bought it recently as it’s taking me too long to complete her Mk1 interceptor.

Nice one Rocky. Mine is 1994 Coupe. it only has 57,000 miles and has been kept in really good condition. I love driving it. I think one I will enjoy for a very long time. Love that yours is a convertible, but I have aircon, with is more than the MKI that has now gone in for spraying.. :D

Hi Raj and Karan -

Yes, mine’s a ‘95, and well taken care of, too. I’ve got more miles on mine (80K), but it runs well, and it’s very smooth & stylish. I get a lot of compliments on it.

We have Air Conditioning too. It works OK when the car starts out in the shade, but if I park it out in the blistering Tucson, Arizona sun, it just can’t keep up.

I guess air conditioning requirements are different between 32* latitude and 50* latitude!
