Porridgehead-It's Red! - Solved Jag XK120 Ghia
« on: January 26, 2007, 10:04:24 PM »
Well, maroon actually. With a bit of orange in there too. So that means... ummm.... nothing?

What it means is that I have nothing amusing to say about this handsome coupe. So for once I'll just shut up and let the picture speak for itself.

It has a lot of ALFA-Romeo B.A.T. influence to it...

Spot on, Karn! It is the Ghia XK120. Like the Motto MG TD, there is nothing to identify the car upon which it is based, although the Ghia had a more beautiful car to start with.

I honestly can't call the Ghia an improvement upon the original, as the XK120 is a car that stands alone, however the Ghia is gorgeous and distinctive in it's own right.
