Another from Goodwood.

I have seen this car a number of times (I came clse to buying its sister a 
good
few years ago). Its an XK140 that has been left completely unrestored 
externally
(I presume the rest has seen some restoration/repairs over the years). At 
first
you think "why?", but after a while it really grows on you.

It's actually maroon and the dull glow off the right hand wheel arch captures
exactly the mixture of elegant beauty and decrepitude that results from its
condition.

As usual constructive C&C welcome.

Thanks for looking.
