one of those early fifties Jaguars that held 17 quarts of oil and used it to cool the engine: one of those great ideas that didn't work out too well...
55 years ago i owned a '51 Austin A90: it had an aluminum body and a 2660 cc engine, 4 cylinder and a four speed tranny, gearshift on the column... it lost 3rd gear but i used to drive it to work on the freeway, somtimes racing a Corvette... it would really scream along... a lot more fun than i should have been having...

I love the old XK series of Jag. I'm blame my brother for 'infecting' me with his petrol head ways. i do love a beautiful car though!
me too
