Which apparently is really rare according to Wikipedia.
It has Mulliner wheels, but these things were primarily built to spec, so you could order Mulliner wheels on a non-Mulliner. My guess is Mulliner, but it's tough to say without a badge shot.

Same, I was waiting for it. Maybe a direct link to pic anyone?

These are sat in a covered space in someones drive in the next village from me - Jaguar XK120 and Mercedes 320 SL. I've never seen them driven and they're usually under tarpaulin sheets. There's a Lamborghini Countach parked alongside too. I guess the owner knows their value and I hope that one day they will be restored to from their current (already pretty good) condition. Fotunately Hong Kong has very mild weather all year round so they won't deteriorate as fast as they might elsewhere, but it still pains me to see them not being driven...

It looks like the owner at least has some kind of interest in storing them right.These are sat in a covered space in someones drive in the next village from me - Jaguar XK120 and Mercedes 320 SL.

Does this work for you?
Also carrying on my mini theme of Autech abominations based on the Nissan Micra, I present the Autech Bolero for your viewing pleasure
And to clense your eyes after that, two blondes crossing the street, er I mean an Evo 6.5 Tommy Makkinen Edition.

Hey Gashly, you seem to like the American muscle quite a bit. Are you coming up for our Americana festival?
Also, some pics from yesterday.
New XK:
A good story to go with this one. I was about two streets into my journey, and was at an intersection trying to get the camera into a solid yet easily reachable position in the car, when this passed in front of me. I didn't even notice it at first, then I took off after it. I was going slightly above the speed limit, and was conscious of a Police presence so decided to back off a little. Then I saw a car coming towards me that matched the type of car the local constabulary have as an unmarked car. As it got closer I realised it was said car, so very lucky I backed off! Caught up to the Jag at the next intersection and fired off a few shots before he turned off 100m later.
S Type R:
No story with the Jag. It was just parked outside a restaurant. 👍

One of my extra-curricular activities outside of my day job is a director of a car restoration company which deals in predominantly American classics so it is a bit of an occupational hazard I guess
.I am going to be in Australia for work at the end of Feb so I won't be able to come up, but as I understand it a couple of the cars we have done are making the trip up.
I am pretty sure that this Buick
that we did will be up there.

I think we can forgive Doug a few mediocore spots after the amazing stuff he's given us in the past.
Although, Doug I see your Sport GT and raise you a load more Maseratis...
(Still going through last Sunday's batch)
Sport GT
Quattroporte (Rarer colour)
Old Quattroporte
Ghibli
3200GT
Can't for the life of me remember the name of this GT Something or Something GT...
Here are a couple of Rolls Phantoms. Phantom 'HK 1' is a particulary rare spot is it actually belongs to business, trading and property tycoon The Honourable Li Ka Shing, the richest person of Chinese descent in the world and the 9th richest man in the world according to Forbes magazine. He is worth an estimated US$23 billion and is known for leading a 'no-frills' lifestyle, although this Phantom is obviously an exception to the rule! I wonder if he may even be driving the car in this picture, as he has a passenger up front. I should also mention that The Honourable Li Ka Shing is one of the largest philanthropists in the world, donating massive amounts to various charities and institutions, and judging by his car also a man of consumate taste.

Well I was in Norman for a bit today and had three nice spots. The first car spotted today was what looked to be a very clean and in great shape Z32 300ZX Twin Turbo. I have seen very few Z32s in good shape, much less twin turbo models. I also saw a Bentley Continental GT in a dark blue color. Sorry for no pictures of either of these, as there was not much chance for me to do so. But I did manage to get a picture of my third spot and I thought it was a neat one.

Joey's example is a despoilered EVO 8 GSR not an RS. The RS doesn't come with a rear wiper assembly.
