@arajani yeah that pic is from type550.com; one of the post LeMans, pre-restoration shots of 0051 when it was allegedly used as a rally car circa late '50s or early 60s (later it was used for instruction at a race driving school).

I love that pic because of how incongruous that windscreen looks, and how utterly perfect for the stated task. Big Jaguar C-Type energy there. You can see the wipers were fitted then and that works for my story for my car, which has the plinths and will wear plugs in them when I put the plexi screen back on.

At that time that car also had a second spare tire strapped to its rear deck. People did all kinds of terrible things to these cars back in the day!

You look taller than Carey in this pic, man! Gotta be the angle!
