Came across this on BBC news this morning, not one car but several. My lifelong obsession with 'resurrecting' classic cars https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-47357827
I've posted this as it's a 'special' car in Ireland, there being only 5 registered here. Snapped whilst I was out on a run earlier today
I was thinking he was parked or just pulling away. But if not, yeah a bit out of shape.... and having a rare old time
Sorry, going to have to be a pedant again. That's a C-type. C-type are absolutely gorgeous and one of my all time favourite cars, you know the one you'd buy if you won the lottery big 3 or 4 times. Wouldn't turn down a D-type but I'd always be thinking of the C. As to whether it's original it was registered in December 1952 so the age works (could still be a fake based on an XK120 or Mk7).
It’s just a great action shot I took as he sped past - not . He was actually pulling away from being parked up by the Armco. I’d stopped to admire the view, another biker appeared and stopped to admire the view & chat and then the fella in the Exige S stopped to have a chat. He told me there are only 5 in Ireland & as it’s the first I’ve seen here in 7 years I believe him. I’ve seen more Teslas! Anyway, what’s a proper Exige ?
Oops. Fair play, I'm sure you're correct. And yes, the C-type does indeed look stunning! A friend of mine at work has totally restored a D-type (amazing detail btw) and from behind I thought it was the same as his.
Never been in an Exige but I know they're pretty hardcore and track focused with a firm suspension. I'd say the fella needed a chiropractor and some fillings replaced after a blat along that road
