    As an airline pilot, I love the way you check the radiator fan, oil pressure, etc., when you start it up.

    I'm surprised to learn that the walnut dash is not illegal in the US. I had heard before that none of the wooden trim was allowed.
    I just don't know what to believe anymore.

      This car left the factory on Hallowe'en, 1956 and was distributed through Jaguar Cars, New York. I believe the wood is original :-)

    Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one station per city. :-(
