BTW, great call on the Jag XJ13. Possibly a hands down winner for pure fluid beauty!
Hi Buzz,
Actually not much detective work on my part... I have a poster of the 2000GT in my garage. Toyota was giving them away and had a real one on display at Laguna Seca / Monterey Historics this year. I had not seen one before that.

The photo of the Jaguar XJ13 was from the 2002 Concours De' Elegance event at Pebble Beach. The original driver of the car was there speaking about the car, a wreck that took place in that car, and he still had the scar on his face from it. It was restored. What was funny is he brought it up to display area and "lit 'em up" coming down the grass fairway returning the car to its show stall. Sounded pretty cool. I was smitten with the car every since.

They make 1:18 scale models of the XJ13 too.
