Replying to: bob550k (Jun 30, 2009 3:13 pm) The Fiat Jolly is probably worth more, and a hotter item in the marketplace, than the Jaguar E Type coupe if it's a 2+2 coupe, but you said it was beautiful so I assume it's a Series 1 coupe from 1967--the far better looking of the two coupe models for '67. The 2+2 is consider ungainly by most Jag people and is not desired. You can buy these under $15000 if they are automatics.

Today's oddity - ca. 1991 Mitsu Galant VR4 - the loaded high tech model that must suffer from both unobtanium parts and mechanical maladies, as they are virtually extinct now. Also saw an early K-car LeBaron sedan and a loud pagoda SL that almost sounded like a small V8 - but I think the exhaust can be tuned that way.   Edit: A-H 3000 just drove by my window, steel blue, looked pristine.

#16636 of 17974 Saw by boomchek Jun 30, 2009 (8:27 pm)
a first generation late 90s Audi A8 today. Still a nice car but looks too much like an A4, just larger scale. I think the MB S class and BMW 7 series of that era have more presence. Replies to this message: texases (Jul 01, 2009 6:24 am) fintail (Jul 01, 2009 6:33 am)

Not a classic, but certainly on it's way to becoming obscure. I don't think that I ever saw one on the road before. It just looks weird. Why would you buy one instead of an X5?   Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 01, 2009 6:32 am) kyfdx (Jul 01, 2009 6:01 pm)

Replying to: boomchek (Jun 30, 2009 8:27 pm) "Still a nice car but looks too much like an A4, just larger scale"   Lucky that Audi had a good basic design at the time, the A4/A6/A8 were virtual triplets, except for size. Audi didn't take much grief for it, it seems.

Replying to: gsemike (Jul 01, 2009 5:42 am) I thinks it's for the highline SUV buyer who wants to play the "sport" masquerade above the others. It really is an odd thing, and in person it looks like it must weigh 10 tons.

Replying to: boomchek (Jun 30, 2009 8:27 pm) I bet it's a labor of love to keep one of those going today.   The SWB versions are especially like a larger A4.
