Still, you've got a great car, no question. I just prefer my electric windows to your side curtains!
I wanted one that was as period correct (not including the rear end, this one has a Jaguar 3:30 XK-6 fully independent with twin coilovers on each side rear) as I could get. Of course a stroked Windsor is lighter and probably more powerful, but again, I'm from the old school, I like carbureted, Detroit big block iron.

Thanks for the complement. It is an enjoyable, fast, loud and intimidating but small retirement toy. An absolute blast to drive.
I don't have a top, side curtains or a window to roll up. If it rains (and it has heavily on me!), I'm SOL and I get wet, very wet.
