Hello Matthew - here is a picture of the tractor. 1953 Ford with only 3700 hours. Original 6 volt, positive ground electrical system. Not as much horsepower as the XKR but it goes better in the snow

Nevada is hardly a beautiful as France, but here's a nice place for cat to hang out after a drive across the desert!

Both are awesome. I love the background of the second one.
It is representative of USA for European people like me... I have been in several states but never in Nevada.

Interesting about the "Z". I have a 72 240 with 68K on it. Only drive it during the summer for a hundred or less miles. It's actually still fun to drive, and still feels peppy.

Looking good and a a lot cleaner than my XK is at the moment. I think we're due for a dry day in June so make the most of it!

Now it's clean. Not a great pic but snapped just outside the car wash alongside my friend's XJR 100, a rare sighting of these two 100 versions together. Just missing the convertible for the full catalogue.



XKR 100 + XJR 100

When you say "Jaguar Racing Green 1957" is that a different color than the normal
British Racing Green. It certainly photographs beautifully! Thanks for sharing.

That is correct. Jaguar racing green is a special metallic green. BRG is a darker non metallic green. Jaguar racing green is one of the nicest greens for a jaguar IMHO. Maybe that is why they named is Jaguar racing green

Default Installed a new rear spolier...

I bought an XKR spoiler off a forum member and installed it a few weeks ago...

...and I washed my baby yesterday, so here are some pics.
