Jaguar XK120 at the Frank Grounds Rally (1951, ish)
This fine example of the XK120 belonged to the Bira Prince, and its arguably the most important (or significant) XK120 ever built.
Known as the HKV-455, its original plates, or as the chassis #6600001, it was the first lefhand-drive XK120, the first to enter the USA, and also the oldest XK120 remaining. It got itself quite some racing pedigree in the meantime, surviving every single rally.
It was later found in a garage in Scotland, where apparently it had been hiding from the eyes of the public for almost 30 years.
In 2005 it was sold in an auction for $440k.

PS.: I really hope I didn’t mix this one up, for I am overwhelmingly drunk at 5am writing this. If so, I deeply apologize.
Tour of Cheshire (2012)
A couple of gentlemans having a bit of fun in the Mercedes-Benz 280SL. It’s always nice to see old people driving not like… old people.
