1965 E-Type Jaguar in British Racing Green

4 Years Earlier and it would have been a Maserati Tipo 63 V12 (Birdcage)

Now that is nice car! Somebody in our area has a blue one. Loving the curves and that engine bay :D

Noticed all the stonechips on the front nose which says to me "This car is driven!" Cant stand it when cars just sit and are coveted, cars are ment to be driven :)

And it was my first honda to :D even tho i had 1986 top of range US import SI model with sun roof clime control cruse control and ****. And Hondas first mass produced fuel injected engine 1.5. I had it on dyno at 210 000 miles and it still did 87hp !!!! Where new one was 90 :D
I ended up scraping it cause i could not get parts in UK to get my front suspension fixed after one Torsion bar broke.
It was 227 000 miles when it went bye bye. I did 27k of that. And it only broke once on me that torsion bar :(.
