Default Jag Evolution Poster XK120 thru XK

Does anyone know where I can buy a poster of the evolution of the XK120 thru XK models? I would like to frame and hang in my office. Any help much appreciated.

I'm not familiar with one that is specifically for the XK but is this the one you are thinking of?

This one used to hang in Jaguar Dealership showrooms in the early days of the XK8 specifically to illustrate the evolution:



Progressively from the back is SS100, XK120, E-Type, XJS to XK8.

Nice poster. Now who will photoshop out the XJS? Name:  icon_smile_tongue.gif

Then maybe squeeze in an XK150 before the E-Type.

There is another poster that I'd love to get my hands on. It shows just an XKE and an XK8(R?) angled toward each other on a dark background. It's gorgeous. A buddy of mine in MI has it and WILL NOT let it go! Gonna have to kill him, I guess.

Anyone else know of this one?

Graham,

That's a killer poster! Tried to find it on the web; no luck.

I've never been able to get my hands on one either.

Bentley were so impressed with the layout, they stole it for the evolution of the Continental R:



Progressively from the back is Continental R, Continental T, Sedanca and Azure.

Now, now. Be nice. We have quite much in common with the old girl. And to be honest, I always thought the late models, top down, were quite handsome. Almost bought one, twice!

I'd like to see that one. This is the closest thing I have, and it's definitely not what you're describing:

I may actually be heading to my buddy's place next weekend. I'll try to remember to take a pic of it. (If I don't resort to killing him for it first!)

Admitting to exceeding the speed limit on public highways and expressing a desire to help someone become expired are two things that one should NOT do on a public forum.

Even worse is losing your sense of humor...
