This car is mentioned in the June 2013 edition of the XK Gazette as visible in a photograph owned by Brian Butler.

If the current owner of this car is interested, please contact me via this forum. I bought it ,as a student in 1964/5 for £75 from an Aussie heading home in a hurry. I had great fun with it although the engine smoked a bit! I used to drive down the old A30 from London to Totnes in Devon every other weekend whilst courting my, then, wife. The car was BRG then but, I think the interior was red. I sold it after a year or so for £125 - no room for a travel cot!
I have a few B&W photos which I will scan if anyone is interested
My enduring memory was the wonderful bellow and occasional backfire from the exhaust going through the Hyde Park Corner underpass with the top down.
Happy days!

Hyde Park Corner Underpass is also a great memory for me ! In 1968 I did several passes through there in my 140 dhc (807198 bought for £40) just listening to the exhaust note echoing, then turning round at Piccadilly and going back through again. Oh to be 18 again, but then what interesting car today could one buy for two and a half weeks of apprentice motor mechanics wages ?

I found the tunnel at Heathrow rather good - and the bellow lasted a satisfyingly long time - providing one had a clear run.

A pal with an E type didn't have a clear run, when he drove into the tunnel after losing it on the roundabout. When I say 'into the tunnel', I don't mean that he even entered the hole part.
