It wasnt concours sportscar who loaded the cars from thier website it was me. I found it via one of the cars that another member had loaded. I have also loaded the following in the last year since I purchased our 140 DHC. My wife keeps asking me if I think it’s now my lifes work to find all the unaccounted for XK’s. My view is that if you have gone to the effort to create this website every car we can find to add is the least we can do. Keep up the good work.
XK’s 660106, 674616, 804644, S813043, 815632BW, 817094, 807003 - mine, S667206 – my cousins, 810025
Saloons S900628, 118057, 413334, 107074, 112587DN
E’s 1E1675
and a few others I can’t now remeber. I’m currently on the trail of the chassis number of a LHD 150 that is for sale in NZ.

John,
Thanks a bunch for contributing! Your agenda is the same as the site(s). I believe the info recorded here is going to be immensely valuable for posterity. In order to help future caretakers we need to give them as much info as possible when we find it.
In keeping with this thread I’d like to thank Ivan at http://www.thecarnut.com Ivan always allows us to post the cars he offers for sale and is one of the good guys!

Yes, thanks, Kiwi John!
Paul, I always wondered about the millions (grin) of cars on this site with photos taken in front of those very same garage doors. That’s great. Thanks, Ivan.

Looking at Ivan’s site, I had forgotten how much I really, really like vintage Maseratis. If I wasn’t a Jag nut, Maserati would be my other choice. Biturbos and such do nothing for me, but the mid-seventies and older cars have enormous charisma.
