Car enthusiasts – Jaguar XJ-S

Here in Sweden there are many who love to refurbish older cars. Quite a lot do so with 1950's/1960's American cars.

Locally we have a man who I guess we would call an 'anglophile' – he just loves England. Naturally when it comes to having cars….. minis, Jaguars, Rolls Royce…… he has English cars.

I think this is a Jaguar XJ-S + V12 from around the middle 80's. To look at it you would think it had just come out of the factory – absolutely mint condition.

As an Englishman it was heart warming to see it so beautifully looked after.

mystic moments----------001

 "......the nauseating neon narrating a nuanced novella upon a drama-indifferent drizzling dampness that prismatically pixelated the lately laid cobblestones.  Showering in the softly stimulating spray stood the uncorroded symbol of innocent and joyful hope, holding up to the dark dank damp distorted anti-daylight the only offering ostensibly suited to the hesitant deluge. A fine fish.

No-one moved. No incandescent cars caressed the cobblestones or  harnessed their holographic headlights to the statue. The tiny tears that trickled tenuously, tortuously, down his tempered face trapped in the mystery of the late autumn condensing haze."
