Car Photo Of The Day

I love this photo. Taken on the Colorado Grand in the San Luis Valley.

Roger should know instantly what this car is, so I’m pre-disqualifying him from guessing. Anyone else wish to take a stab?
IIRC it was the street-legal version of a killer pre-war racer and LSR car. It has always been on my list of “10 cars I’d like to own/drive someday” after I saw grainy period photos of it in a book my dad owned about this particular marque. The idea of achieving it’s theoretical top-speed of around 140 MPH on those tall skinny tires somehow affected me deeply as a boy.

I bet Paul knows too, so go paint your Jaguar Paul! 😉

  1. I’m sleepy, it’s Tuesday AM (my Monday), and that’s my excuse…:0
    That being said, I’m thinking it’s a Sunbeam…do I get a cheroot?..;)

  2. I’ll correct myself: A friend here at work called me on it! It’s an MG..shoulda known it!
    So, ya got me! Now, I’m sending fotos to ya regarding the painting of Tweety, if you care to blog it for me!..;)
