Absolutely stunning. Had a MGB with BRG paint and still my favorite green paint today.

Still think the XKE is one of the most beautiful cars, ever made. Looks like the perfect addition to your collection! Enjoy!!!!

Benchmark design for sure…..Looks like your Goodwood trip ended up costing a lot more than planned😉

Is that because of the car? Or the fact I married a Brit?

Having married a Brit, always easier to add an English car!!

A beautiful car! Be careful with the transmission. They were not very robust. I made some good money repairing them when I was in high school.
