Is that a mk 9 jag , actually took a white one as part payment 19k  towards a house in 1985 , unfortunately as business was difficult at the time, kept it in garage for a few months, never drove it and passed it on at cost , pity would love it now.

It is a MK 7 - hot stuff when it was new both in performance and looks

Came up on Facebook as a topic and thought it would be fun to find the bulk of its photos and put them in one spot. 

 

Facebook is worthless and you need to avoid going there unless it is to get a status update on where Ed is having dinner.

 

We theorized that the car Gooding sold a few years ago might be the Mabeline car as it was in California around WWII.   But it had the sidemounts when Nethecutt got it in the 50s and talking to Chris Charlton who did the restoration there is little chance the beltline molding got changed also.

What is the belt molding difference - not at a dual screen today ?

Did I miss something.  Was this vehicle identified?  That Briscoe-type cyclops headlight is a bit much.  I increased the photo's brightness in photo shop to try to see better what is written on the top side of the radiator shroud.  The word appears to start with a stylized "H", and the word appears to be long enough to spell "HUPP".  Is this a Hupmobile?

This is just plain beautiful, very pleasing lines.  The side mount fenders are the cat's meow.

 

IMHO.

The trim down the belt molding is sweat soldered on and some had matching sweat soldered trim around the fender edge bead too - a 1933 V-16 is an outstanding automobile ("when good labor was cheap" is an expression that comes to mind - like a comparable Packard Twelve and a few other marques you were buying one of the best of the best cars on the road)

Think it is an Austro Daimler, this turned up on a Google search. Bob
