Wow Horace! Such beautiful cars! I'm not an expert in British/European cars so I might be asking a brutality but is the 3rd one (red one) a Bentley?

This is crazy. The red car - 5th pic, and the black open top roof - 11, please. Must have been hard giving them up. Am sure your neighbors were very curious.
If you ruined the car in anyway, how were you covered?

If you ruined the car in anyway, how were you covered? I thought the exact same thing as soon as I saw the photos. The idea of these babies passing from one anonymous hand to the other seems worrying. Not just because of a crash, but the way people drive or treat the car can cause invisible and progressive damage to the engine or other car parts that insurance policies won't cover you for.

Wow Horace! Such beautiful cars! I'm not an expert in British/European cars so I might be asking a brutality but is the 3rd one (red one) a Bentley? It was the first car I had on loan, I turned up to the family meal in it, all the relatives thought Mrs Wimp had bought it me for my birthday. It's a Jaguar Mark 2. This is crazy. The red car - 5th pic, and the black open top roof - 11, please. Must have been hard giving them up. Am sure your neighbors were very curious. If you ruined the car in anyway, how were you covered? The 5th car is a Jaguar Mark 2 like Inspector Morse drove, number 11 is a kit car called a Westfield. The neighbors loved looking at them, check out the four exhausts in the black e type Jag when I backed it off the drive they would catch and gouge out the tarmac. Insurance was included in the membership fee, you had to have a clean license and be over a certain age.

TK6 wants to if there is a monitoring device used to tell how fast you went, any abuse noted.

Wow, what a fantastic pressie, Mrs Wimp goes up even further in my estimation for this The Mark 2 Jag is definitely the best for me, but I like the Westfield because it reminds me of the car driven by Patrick McGoohan in the opening parts of The Prisoner. I can hear the theme music in my head just looking at it
