Lot 58 the Jag XK150 roadster, out of the various tasty jags on offer, though the older MkV and the V12 E type also tempting
I had a ford escort mexico as one of my first cars,bannana yellow and a skull on the gearstick ! Thought I was cool....not.Wouldnt mind it now looking at the value.
But the V12 is the Series 3, where they took the beautiful original and gave it a massive whack with the ugly stick to make it suitable for the American market. You can keep it. I love the E-Type but it has to be the Series 1 or nothing.
The XK150 is nice but I'd go for lot 57, the XK120 roadster. That would be £100k well spent.
There is something in what you say on the e-type. Still the v12 is quite an engine (as is the xk6) and it looks ok in soft top guise - it isn't a horrid auto box either.
I'll grant I'm probably in the minority in prefering the xk150 to the purists' choice of the 120 but I think it is the prettiest jag; maybe even the prettiest car full stop
