Each of their parallel four years, counting the backup Chevy Cavalier for the too-frequent days the Daimler was in the shop.

Been up to me, I'd have put him in an Alvis. The Saladin. Not the Speed 20.

Price of displaying HM flag was what it was!

Thanks Thermite.

I know what you mean about me asking but that's the way I was brought up

I'm afraid you'll have to explain what C&W is to me! I presume it's not anything to do with a particular genre of music Is it the name of the distributors for Jaguar in the US of A?
I get the rest alright and thanks for sharing that story

Thanks Robert!

Yes, I think if it had been another colour I probably wouldn't have been attracted to it, plus I love the wheels and I 100% agree that they are great value!
This one cost €186,000 back in 2007 and cost me €24,000 2 months ago so I am delighted with that

Oye!

Don't call it a Jaguar!

Daimlerii take offence, as that's akin to calling a Chrysler Imperial a Plymouth with lockwashers, or a Cadillac a Buick with pimp-mobile trim.
