@Super8 another great car. I saw one driven on television once, they took it out of the museum and around the neighborhood in order to keep it in lubricated driveable shape.

Jaguar XK-SS. D-Type road going version. This car is one of the fastest car in 1950's capable reach 159 mph with 2.93 final. It has a lot of gear ratio option. From 2.93 long ratio to 4.01 close ratio. The legend live forever.
