It's more of a shame when you see really nice cars sittin gin a garage all t's life only to come out once or twice a year. There's a guy down the road from me with a mint Alfa Romeo Fulvia that has never left his garage.

 

Hi barnter,

Your second LHD-produced car sounds interesting. Would it be possible to know the VIN?
According to a list I have, the first three LHD X100 cars had VINs ending in 000207, 000336 and 000440. The last two here were the green ones in the James Bond film.
There are gaps, but the next LHD ends in 001070 Convertible in Japan. Next LHD might be 001098 Coupe.

I like early XK8 cars, since we have had ours from new (built June 1996) and she is still going (VIN 001213).

Regards
