Not found in a Zoo

You will not find this Jaguar in any zoo.
It's a 1957 XK 140. Blowing up the dash shot it appears to have only 61,262 miles on it.
The Suncoast Jaguar Club Concours was held last Saturday in Sarasota.
Will post more of these beauties in the upcoming days.
Enjoy!

The second shot is my favourite but I would have given it a cleaning with the clone stamp to remove the white spots.

Very nice shots. The dash picture is fantastic - notice the reverse sweep tach. Also, the speedometer is in front of the passenger so they don’t have to ask “do you know how fast you’re going?” In the 1960s, I owned a 150 drop-head coupe similar to this 140 - it was the start of a long parade of Jags (XK8 & XF, currently).

A beautiful photo of a lovely Jaguar. Well done.
When I was 16 and had just gotten my driver's license in NYS one of my favorite uncles came to visit from Western NY to just above NYC. Yup, you guessed it, he was driving a new, to him, an XK140 in BRG. He invited me to stay with him and my grandmother for part of the summer. He allowed me to drive that beautiful car from one end of NYS to the other to get back up toward the Buffalo area. You can imagine the thrill of a kid driving that car for 8 hours. Though we are both older he is still one of my favorite uncles and one of the three nicest guys I have ever met. His two brothers are the other two.

I'm in love. Great pin up shots of a beautiful car. Those curves, the burl. I can smell the leather.

Nice ones--the second one is my favorite.
Thanks John. The oldies did have some impressive hood ornaments and badges!
