Hello Pascal,

Great photos of the cars and the architecture. Nice drawings too ! Thanks for sharing. If I get back to France any time soon I'll let you know.

Hello Matthew - here is a picture of the tractor. 1953 Ford with only 3700 hours. Original 6 volt, positive ground electrical system. Not as much horsepower as the XKR but it goes better in the snow

Both are awesome. I love the background of the second one.
It is representative of USA for European people like me... I have been in several states but never in Nevada.

Interesting about the "Z". I have a 72 240 with 68K on it. Only drive it during the summer for a hundred or less miles. It's actually still fun to drive, and still feels peppy.

Looking good and a a lot cleaner than my XK is at the moment. I think we're due for a dry day in June so make the most of it!

Now it's clean. Not a great pic but snapped just outside the car wash alongside my friend's XJR 100, a rare sighting of these two 100 versions together. Just missing the convertible for the full catalogue.



XKR 100 + XJR 100

I think these are the best looking Jags since mid 60s XKE..

When you say "Jaguar Racing Green 1957" is that a different color than the normal
British Racing Green. It certainly photographs beautifully! Thanks for sharing.

That is correct. Jaguar racing green is a special metallic green. BRG is a darker non metallic green. Jaguar racing green is one of the nicest greens for a jaguar IMHO. Maybe that is why they named is Jaguar racing green
