Ah, wouldn't it be a thrill today if we could race around Brooklands in one of these cars...

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).
