HistoricCoinage Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I'm fortunate enough that quite a few people in my home village have some classics, so I snap a few photos when I see them.I'm also partial to doing some window shopping in the local dealer's. Quote

Ooh, look at that! Is that a Jaguar XK 140 first left?Classic, old, anything, is great in my eyes! I'd love to think of our present day history inspiring the generations ahead, but I just can't see it somehow?Exit: I meant 150? Edited March 22, 2015 by Coinery Quote
Rob Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I see 9 cars. 2 old, 7 new, and presumably all very expensive to buy. I like the concept of a steam powered car though. Quote

HistoricCoinage Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Ooh, look at that!Yep - I think it is a 150. Would love to take it out for a spin.Edit: But know I could get a fair few coins in the upcoming Spink auction for that sort of money... Edited March 22, 2015 by HistoricCoinage Quote
