Nope, has to be the MK. 1. Only a wuss wants brakes that actually work. TSK.

lol I also had quite a cool Jag 420G which used to be an ex JVC audio car, it was a massively wide car with that lead sled type look and the stereo system was all hidden away









Then they turned that design into the DS420 Limos which were the first type of Limos I bought when I started doing Limos many many years ago. . . god I feel old now haha

I'm with you all the way on this one, beyond cool...
My Mk2 was a 3.8 in BRG with chrome wires ,
also had the Mk X aka the 420G...... yep, Wide, but not as nice as your example..... & no nice stereo.

Also in the Mk2 shape, had a Daimler 250 in metallic light blue, all these were cheap when I had them though.
and the dipping mirror (lucas) from my Mk7 lives on in my P5B !
