i tend to agree....

but you cant see the grille.... so its hard to tell

I tend to agree now too... Great eye, thanks.

I don't know anything about these cars. Are are some photos I found...

Plus a nice one on eBay:

But powercoated red brake drums?!?! What were they thinking?!?! (unless that's the correct look, but I highly doubt it). Great, now I've been looking at Jags for about 3 minutes and am already critical.

i rode in a 59 Jag roadster....i dont remember if it was a XK120 or not....

Jaguar hasn't made a beautiful car, since about 1957.... and one day, they started making Fords..

Looks like it's called the 804:

My crazy idea I've had for some time now is building a street legal version of a "modernized" 1950s/1960s F1 style car. Single seater, mid-engine, 4-wheel independent suspension, easily removable fenders and bumpers, SB100... Continuing with my "safer than a motorcycle" theme...

My dad had a '72 V-12 and '68 6 cylinder roadsters. The six was a better car overall, IMHO. I never drove his, but did drive another one a few times. That 12 made some great noises, and was very fast, but the 6 seemed more balanced. Pretty cars though.

Like this one, the 6 cylinder cars had a little different grill

The Jag alphabet starts with C, and ends with D.
