What the what?

1967 Jaguar XKR, Palm Springs, California, United States - JamesList

 

Wow. That IS interesting.

There were a lot of beautiful cars being made in 1967, and that is NOT one of them. One of a kind, though.

 

it reminds me a bit of something else that I can't quite place at the moment. maybe something like an old AMC?

 

Reminds me of a Jensen.

It's ONLY $350,000.00!

 

Here is the Jensen I was referring to.

 

Look closely and you can see the lines of the Bertone designed Lamborghini Espada that was produced several years later. What compromised this design was the tall architecture of the XK motor, a problem the low mounted Lambo V-12 didn't have. I remember clearly when that car was shown in Europe in my high school days. My initial thought was British and Italian do not necessarily mix, unless it's drinking brown ale with pizza.

 

I think you're thinking of the AMC Javelin. I agree. They look similar. And they're both ugly.

 

as stated looks a little like a Jensen Interceptor in parts.

Strange though that I kinda like the lines and the way the Jensen looks but not this I'm afraid!

 

AMC Javelin

 

Wow, it does look like the Espada. I love all those toggle switches.

 

My only question is "which center consol switch fires the forward rockets and which is for the ejector seat?"

You're right Sam, that's what I was thinking of. Here's another Javelin pic:
