afalang Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 THE ultimate car is without doubt the Jaguar XJC... V12 version if you can afford the petrol This one in the photo is a 4.2 model which I finished restoring last year.

(shame about the colour) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lovely , I have had a few Series 3 V12's but never a coupe. I once drove one to my parents in Fort William , a round trip of 1000 miles, using 100 gallons of fuel. I could have bought a return flight to Bkk for less. My dream car would be an original Gullwing Merc , or the S-type Jag in Inspector Morse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvanLaw Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 As a callow youth in the late 60’s I acquired a XK 120 which I managed to wright off 3 days later. Something I have regretted ever since.

Thomas_Merton Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) Souped-up Chinese moped - 128cc. 100+miles to the gallon. Park anywhere. Zip through the closest BKK traffic jam (nippy in the jungle too). Does 60 mph on a straight run. Virtually no pollution. Pay a pittance for tax and insurance. Don't need anything else - no sublimation required. Edited June 27, 2005 by Thomas_Merton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afalang Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Do you many stares driving the Coupe in Los , or are you elsewhere? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wish I did have that XJC in LOS no, I had that one in Sydney,Oz. There is only 1 XJC in the whole of Thailand. It is a Daimler Sovereign model, extremely rare cat as only 1,677 of this type were produced. They were never exported into LOS so the one for sale is a private import. It was advertised on the internet (Pasar Thai) and was then in the Bangkok Post (English) for about a month. From memory he was asking 650,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
