Such a stylish car, the XJS coupe. I love low cars - hard to find these days.

you are slightly biased Dion.. :) how's she driving, any luck with the tuning?
Found a Vignale built LHD MK1 in South Africa, Sincar #15, chassis 117/2592.
On a long and winding road to restore it back to original condition. :shock:

Ironically for "Drive it Day" today, I'm taking part in a walk for my daughter's Beaver Scouts group!

Saw this on the way to the start point...

Loving that land yacht!
I'd forgotten to post pics of the HRCR's Taith Cymru that I enjoyed a fortnight ago.
The tour itself was just over 140 miles from near Crickhowell to Devil's Bridge near Aberystwyth through and over the brecon Beacons, the Elan Valley and the Black Mountains. A terrific day of traffic free roads, including the rally famous Epynt, and spectacular scenery.
Just the one Jensen - a well known GT...
