You'll probably love this - I didn't even realize that the original Corvette Stingray was ever even produced in "British Racing Green," until I saw one in person a few weeks ago. The color is called "Goodwood Green" and pictures don't do it justice:



Since you're a fan of the 507, it's worth reading this story about the restoration of Elvis' 507; a car he bought while stationed in Germany while serving in the Army...


Elvis Presley?s BMW 507 set for complete restoration


I missed buying a Z8, and the 507 is pretty much out of reach, barring a large lottery win... I wasn't about to miss owning a F-Type.
I was about ready to pull the trigger on a Z08 at $86k when the price on used ones with real miles had troughed . The spousal unit balked at the idea. Arghh! The F-Type is a great consolation prize!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What is considered beautiful by some may be seen as hideous by others. There are so many beautiful cars, both classics and modern works of art I can't possibly pick 1 or two.

Guys have to check out this Jaguar at 7:00 into Schmee's video. It's a concept car (CX75?), but really looks like a super car..

Yes there is quite a lot on this concept in the forum under Other Jaguars - Concepts. It was originally destined to have electric motors. Jaguar fitted one with an FTYPE engine for the recent Bond movie Spectre. It chases Bond's DB 10 in the movie. Never went into production. Prototype is several years old.

I really like it also. Love to have seen them produce it even if only in limited numbers. The looks give Mclaren and Ferrari a run for the money.

Nope, wouldn't even have bought it at the same price as my F-Type (unless I had a chain saw to lop of the wing, rear bumper and ridiculous side vents).
