PICS. 2 Jags.
No not the former Deputy PM in the UK who used one Jaguar to go to ,Parliament, and another one to carry his briefcase, at a time when he was telling the rest of us to use public transport. No this time it is two Jags, one from Matrix, the other from Premiun X.
First the Matrix which again is a model of an unusual car; an estate version of the 1980 Jaguar XJ SIII by Ladbroke-Avon.

The Premium X Jag is of the legendary XK SS (road going version of the D Type), 9 of the original batch of 25 being destroyed by fire. Those 9 have, or are now being built again and they are expected to sell at ?1,000,000. If you can'y afford that, the Premium X version is less than ?40, and there is more of them.

I like the XKSS Mike. Odd colour choice though!

An XK 120 FHC....with spats!...would've been a better choice.

Could the XKSS be a reissue of the old AutoArt?

Great minds think alike! I was just going to ask that same question!

I know one thing - the luggage rack is made out of some big-a$$ pipe!

That was my criticism, but it is a sub ?40 offering.

TSM Models also announced in their "Collection d' Elegance"
series the Jaguar XKSS in silver or "BRG" British Racing Green , but we all know how long it takes them to release their stuff.

The Matrix especially looks nicely executed. Questionable styling to my eye.
When stylists have to work with downward angled rear fenders, squaring the circle as it were, it seldom seems to work well.

And good value too Mike

When I win the lottery the first car on the yard will be an XK120!
