Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: classic jaguar

[LarryT (l02turner]

Dude!
You never fail to amaze and impress me!!  Geez!  A 120MC - I don't think 
they made more than a handful of those!  That was the 1st Jag I fell in love 
with - right out of Road & Track magazine!!  For those who don't know, the 
120MC was a competition version of the XK120 that had been developed for 
LeMans - which Jaguar won 3 times IIRC in the early to mid 50s!!

Jag produced a XK-C as a precursor to the D Jaguar which just about everyone 
knows on sight because of the tall tail fin behind the driver's head.

Thanks for the memories ;-)
