The red Jag v12 gets my vote. I wonder if it had manual transmission? Yes thanks for the pics. Lots of American metal and not much British which kind of says something about longevity....

Me too. It's probably harder to find a nice Falcon than an early Mustang...always thought they were a clean looking design. Loved the old Falcon Rancheros during my high screwall years.

Yep, that falcon just looks right, nice subtle color, the right amount of window tint, and sharp wheels. My buddy is buiding up a 63 with 4 link suspension, and a stroked 351....should ---A L O T---of fun.

Recycled, only the non HE XJS V12 could be ordered with manual transmission, and only 400 were, so that car shown will be an auto.Longevity of British cars compares well with American ones, its just that often Americans dont take care of UK cars because parts are expensive over there, the cars are sometimes more sophisticated hence not for Bert the Blacksmith to repair.

I haven't had time to wash and polish my 911 to get it show ready. I missed the first show of the year in these parts. Well, sort of. I didn't attend but it was at Bud's Chevy and it is generally a Corvette Cruise in. I was going East on 33 to Cbus and saw a lot of Vettes going west.
