An XK220 abandoned in Dubai:

 

Sorry U, this has to be at LEAST the twenty three thousand seven hundred and thirteenth time this was posted on this forum....

Ok, maybe not QUITE that many, but close!

 

That's the good thing about getting old... you can be astonished and amazed at the same thing over and over again. (and you're always meeting new friends that seem to know you).

 

Since I'm old too, I've probably said this in response to one or more of the other 23,713 times this picture has been posted, but it can't be said often enough--it deserves it. That car achieved the Pontiac Aztec level of ugly.

 

Somewhere on this forum is a video of the "after". Apparently that's a very old photo and that car was restored (so to speak) and blinged up for some Prince...

 

Bling or no bling, it's the look of the original. I disliked it the first time I saw one and every time since.

 

+1. Sleek enough, but the styling and overhangs are all out of proportion. Looks like a cheap mock-up for a B-grade sci-fi movie.

 

Shame the CX-75 is in limbo, they seem to have hit the mark with that thing. Now if they would just cook up a modern, high tech supercharged V-12 to power that thing, we could all have some kind of Jagasm.

Here is a link to what that poor car looks like now...
