Jaguar XK120
 
I've loved this car since I was a teen. It was launched in the same year that I was! :love: (edit - er, just checked - no it wasn't, it's even older than me by 5 years or so!)

Another exception to your 4WD preference Ian?

(Perhaps the mods will help if I messed up the poll?)

Not cool for me, I think I'm the wrong generation to know anything about it, or appreciated it.

And if its not cool enough for non Jag fans to be aware of it, then it just cant be cool imo.... +++

Right! +++

Had a quoted top speed of 120mph, but the US road testers said this was "typical of the understated Brits".

It, and the later XK 140 and 150 models (same model number = mph claims) were the fore-runners of the E-type. Cool as well, but a little too obvious IMHO
