several Jag XK120s and XK140s, XKEs

Where...>WHERE? PICS NAOOOWWWWWWWWWWW

there's one Mk1 1/2 coupe in excellent condition, but it was brought in by a returning citizen...by how it should be on triple SUs

this poor thing is in Freeport

everything else is second to THIS
I been stalking this car for years..............it's been like this over a decade....always same story: yeah we fixin it....
owner currently working on a T-bird...........no accounting for taste...

Ther's supposed to be another like it in similar condition in couva, and a 'restored' green coupe in Valsayn, which despite what the owner says, is a mix and match car with parts from series I, II and III

Supposed to be a couple of them in south but my stalking has not been very fruitful

My buddy with the XK150 says back i the 1970s a few of them passed thru his hands for around $300 to $500.......back then, they were considered tired, beat up old cars with no real value

[NiSmO-R]

lol I had the Testarossa, F40, Esprit and Mansell F1 Ferrari.............and Alyssa Milano.......FROM BEFORE the Charmed days eh kiddies :p

I may have this wrong but didn't bhagwansingh own one crash it then sold that to Harricrete (re painted yellow). That one used to pass me while I was riding my bike Toni Braxton blasting from the sound system lol Where that one?

The one I really wanna know what happen to was the maroon 25th anniversary model with the square rear tail lights saw that one once and never saw it again

[MG Man]

^^^yup...Bhagwansing's car, then Victor's
LMAO at Toni Braxton, but oh lordie what a woman.............
I knw frankie's lambo has the 3 square lenses per side, and it supposed to be a 5000....but maybe the maroon one was the bhagwansing car........I don't think it was originally yellow

[RoTaRyBoYz]

Yuh remember when dem cars get lix from a certain Box Lansahh? The good ole days

[MG Man]

didn't all three end up in one epic fail?

[Habit7]

[cool story]I remember as a child going to my aunt's mechanic in Barataria and seeing a Lotus Esprit parked up in a corner, but still looking like it was in working condition.

These mechanics sometimes get these cars for next to nothing because owners can't keep up with parts and maintenance. The mechanics will surely want to tinker and restore them but to what avail? There are still real jobs coming in that make good money and those projects just take up too much time.[/cool story]

[RoTaRyBoYz]

didn't all three end up in one epic fail?

Yes, it made front page of the Express.. I'm sure one of those guys have a copy of that article

[AllTrac]

mg man dats ah A-TEAM jockey shorts ah seeing dey?

[white_lion]

The maroon countach was in fact the one owned by bhagwansingh's which was then procured by victor (harricrete) after his corvette stingray and a sports bike mysteriously burned to the ground outside his townhouse in camelot in valsayn.
It was only after the notorious cocorite incident that it was repaired and repainted yellow.
As a lil yute growing up in camelot I was lucky enough to be driven in both the stingray and the countach with the lambo being the one that stands out in memory with an undoubtedly unforgettable sub 4 minute run from valsayn to the airport and back.

[MG Man]

wait................wait........................




































never had the chance to laaaave you

[X2]

What the big deal (aside from having cars of fantasy rolling next to you from time to time) ?

Well a 6 year limit on imports versus what you could bring in 30 years ago for instance... that means buying an exotic, or any car for that matter means you are going to buy it fairly new. I mean... c'mon... if someone brought in a roro Countach or 308 ferrari today... would so many people be drooling ? They'd be bitching about how the car ole and need paint... But roll out a LF-A or Evora from a container and you talkin 10+ page post !

[Monk BANzai]

^^^ Whats an LF-A?

[Trini Hookah]

If you bring an Evora most people would just want to take pics/say "aye you see that baddup cyar?" and still not know the name/make, "Lotus? Oh yeah, I had a feeling so."

with out this no fiyaz can be geed

[DSM_05]

I have been saying that so long now, but like ppl in dis country wanna give the man a national award for Excellence in Procuring an Exotic Vehicle.
I think I still see it covered up in a warehouse in Trincity Industrial Estate

Some of those older exotics are still rolling around. I think D Ramoutarsingh's 308 Ferrari is still moving well. Blue now however (I seem to remember it being red when I was a very young standing next to it in M'bella at one point).

its 2 diff cars

i tort 2 diff cars was like evo an ting?

Well I'm under the impression D.R. drives an FD2R (seen it by his place in San'do). If so, I've seen the car parked in La Romaine next to that blue 308. So I guess he bought a next one.....well....yeah I suppose he could


MG Man, that's a Mk 1 E type? Can't tell....from some of the pics I swear it looks like the MK2. If it's the MK 1, that's a 6 cyl...right?

Yes, it made front page of the Express.. I'm sure one of those guys have a copy of that article

Yep. I swear I could still remember the article.....multi million dollar crash or something so. Lambo got hit broadside and the porsche....can't recall.


Actually had spoken with R.G. many years later.....was gr8 to hear the tale from the man himself

[MG Man]

it's a Mk2
The Mk1 had slimmer front indicators mounted above the bumper. Also only the Mk3 came with the V12, and is easily identifiable by the longer body and bigger grille, both which ruin the lines, imo

[ado15mk3]

would love to see one of these in person:



the old one was really nice too.
allyuh know why we have lamborghini supercars?
paraphrase:
lambo buys ferrari. ferrari had clutch issues. notes his tractors had same parts as ferrari. lambo talks to enzo. enzo says: stick to driving your tractors farmer and dont complain about my cars. lambo says: ok bossman, now i gonna build my own car. and presto.....

note: i am sure there is another side to this story.

[coolstorybro]During my stay in London in '06 I was fortunate enough to attend the Autoshow (can't remember the specific name) at the time. Saw ALOT of exotics, and even a few amazing Japanese vehicles; though for the life of me the only one I remembered was a colour changing E7, was pretty neat.

Among all the exotics I saw, Lambos, Ferrari's et al, I never saw an Elise in person yet [/coolstorybro]

MG you ever had the opportunity to see/drive one?

[NiSmO-R]

[cool story]I remember as a child going to my aunt's mechanic in Barataria and seeing a Lotus Esprit parked up in a corner, but still looking like it was in working condition.

.[/cool story]

Car was in working condition but had gearbox issues as all Esprit's suffer from The V8GT is still one of my favourite cars so I asked the mech what it gonna take to bring it back to working condition he watch me shake his head and say that is a long long long story one that will give me a headache

[NiSmO-R]

[NiSmO-R]

New Lexus supercar

[X2]

For when the price of a Lambo is just too low to hurt your wallet...Lexus LFA... nice ride...

[NiSmO-R]

This things does sound almighty though like a F1 car whose voice is breaking....

If you buying with your head get a GTR, if you buying with your heart lexus isn't the first name you go too and if you buying just to show off i.e your wallet... why not ... most people who see it pass will say nice ferrari anyway

[scotty_buttons]

the fact that they fitted a digital tach because an analog tach won't be able to keep up with the revving kinda cool

but seriously, the sound of that machine O_O

Yep. I swear I could still remember the article.....multi million dollar crash or something so. Lambo got hit broadside and the porsche....can't recall.
