Thanks for the clarification. I really like most pre-war British cars, but I think a few really stand out like the Jags. I like most of their post-war cars too until the Mark 1. Not that it was a bad looking car by any means, but they seemed to lack the elegance of the earlier sedans (saloons to you).

Especially if it was the ultimate Brooklands gladiator (John Cobb's Napier-Railton)..
There is still a tremendous atmosphere just standing on the parts of the banking that remain.
The 1950s wasn't really a very good period for saloon/sedan elegance (with the odd exception from the likes of Citroen). I agree that the Mark I could be better but the Mark II was much improved with its thin framed side windows.
