My 1949 V-8 Ford with dual exhaust and glass packed mufflers. What a great sound it had winding it up in second gear and letting off the gas.

Thanks Keesha. That’s the advantage of living on the side of a big hill.That’s a fine looking car Pappy!
Nice scenery too.
Is that you in the drivers seat?

Beautiful car, I'm not too good at recognising Jaguar models, I think that this could be an XK120 Seen in the same supermarket car park as the Morris. But I can say for definite that the MG is called a YB.

The Jaguar is an XK 140. Very similar to the XK 120 except the XK 140 has those verticle bumper guards and a couple of other features.

Have loved those since they first made a prototype and then a kit.
Although, I'm not sure I'd have hacked up a 69 boss one.

Really nice! The only one in your photo line-up I don't like is the Boss 351 because the rear side window is cut at an awkward angle. Look at the difference between that one and the green(?) one. The guy who designed the 351 must have been drunk.Have loved those since they first made a prototype and then a kit.

Same thing with the idea of making a newer Mustang look like the old Country Squire wagons. (No, no)
Of course, there is the one's out there who couldn't afford a pickup truck, but, had a Mustang laying around.
Poor Stang.
Of course she does. You both make a handsome couple as well as kind hearted. Very sweet!Well that’s two of you. My wife thinks so too. Wrinkles and all..

Wow! That's a poor Stang alright! It looks like he might have done a good job but the overall "look" isn't too nice. Boy, those retro Mustangs are beautiful .... but not that chopped one in your photo. I like those new retro cars and also the Crossfire. After the 1970's American cars turned really ugly but now they're making a nice comeback in styling.Same thing with the idea of making a newer Mustang look like the old Country Squire wagons.

I had a Triumph too (Bonneville motorcycle) and it left oil all over the place.Me and my 1973 Triumph TR6 on the day I bought it in 1979....
Later on, after I had it painted....
Note the lack of oil stains on the driveway in the first pic vs in the other two....
One of my best friends in HS was the son of a foreign car repair shop owner. Mostly British sports cars like MG, Triumph, Jaguar etc. He would occasionally get a Lotus or a Ferrari which he was also knowledgeable about.
He referred to the TR6 as "the drippin' six".

As far as British motors go (besides the Bonneville motorcycle) I've also owned a Morris Minor and an MGB. I am very fond of the TR 4 but I've never owned one.
