Dwight Romberger Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Could be Obama. It looks like it is being stolen, the way he tried to drive away with the cover still on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I did some electrical work on a fixed hood, (As they say over there.) XK120 that belongs to a buddy. Getting in and out of that thing was the hard part for me. I think they were build for little guys. Even Driving it is on the tight side for a guy with long legs. Dandy Dave!

Restorer32 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 In 1967 I was in a serious head on collision in a bug eyed Sprite. Crushed both my knees, requiring a long rehab. Dad said "I guess you learned your lesson about driving those sports cars?" Apparently not because as soon as I could walk again, about 6 months, I bought my XK 140 and went back to school with it as my daily driver. As you may know, early Jags like to go fast but they really don't like to stop. With my weak legs I had to use both feet on the brake pedal AND pull on the e-brake if I needed to stop in a hurry. Somehow I survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Ouch. All I can say is some like to live Dangerously. Don't know if I would fare very well in my 1915 Buick if ever involved in a wreck, But at least I have a lot of leg room. Nothing but motor under the hood,... or I mean Bonnet of that Jag.

Bleach Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It's a replica. It's not even a real Jag. It was used for a Mariah Carey video in 2005.http://www.imcdb.org/movie_1004509092-Mariah-Carey--We-Belong-Together.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Now that you mention it, yes. The taillights look 120 and the front bumper (s?) aren't right. I went by the dip at the door, not as severe as on the 120, and the rear bumper which appears to be 140. Fooled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
