Grimly Curmudgeon said.... My old boss, Gary Bartlett from the USA, has a collection of D-types and 11, yes 11, XJ220s. He has a very original XKSS and a Le Mans entrant D- type amongst his collection. He drives them all regularly too, some on proper classic rallies. -- Lozzo ZZR1100D, GPZ500S, CB250RS x3 BOTAFOT#57/70a, BOTAFOF#57, two#49, MIB#22, TCP#7, BONY#9, ANORAK#9, DIAABTCOD#14, UKRMT5BB, IBW#013, MIRTTH#15a/16, BotToS#8, GP#2, SBS#10, SH#3, DFV#14, KoBV#3.

Well yes, the D-type is better looking by a long way than that recycled Lancaster bomber undercarriage of the C-type, imo. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6? DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#16? FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19

I've got a soft spot for the old Series I XJ6. I had a '73 SII Daimler Sov 10 or so years ago, in pink (Jaguar called it 'Heather') FFS.

Christ, there's a difference! I've just spent the last hour looking for a picture of it, found loads of bangers in various states. And ex-girlfriends....IVS But no Daimler.
I always quite liked the 924/928 series; whether or not it's a 'proper' nazi slot car I leave up to the purists. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6? DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#16? FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19
