I was waiting for someone to say that!

Wow, what a collection.

An SS1, C-Type, D-Type, XKSS, Xk120, 140's, 150's, XKE ....

I am seriously in lust.

Thanks for posting.

And if you can afford those, you can afford a few drip trays

Cheers, Chris

There can't be many people in the world that could afford to buy the entire collection & even fewer that'd want to but wouldn't it be great to see the whole lot stay together as one collection........ and equally great to see the collection made available for the public to view.

Thanks Shakari. beautiful collection and as you said would be good as one collection open to the public.

I know of some private collections that would be worth a huge amount. Alas, unless you are in the know, you will never get to enjoy them.

There are some lovely cars there. Would be interesting to see a photographic catalogue of them all.

Cheers, Chris

It'd have to be a bloody big catalogue huh! LOL

And how many would start...1 out of 10? Lucas Electrics, the inventor of darkness! :-)

I luv you Biebs, I have been there too many times.

Biebs, please be more precise. The correct phrase is "Lucas, Prince of Darkness."

Former owner of a V-12 XJS. I know whereof I speak.

My brother did his mechanics apprenticeship on Jags.

He sure appreciated the fuel injected V12's

Funny enough he still liked British sports cars.

Ahh the old Pos. ground jokes

Sorry, can't take the credit http://www.mez.co.uk/lucas.html
