There's any number of them in the Lindner collection.
An XK120 roadster and the XK140 FHC.
With an XK150 out in "shed" number 3 awaiting restoration. Just noticed it's LHD.
It's the E-Type that's Carl's passion and he has quite a few of them scattered about the place.
I took this photo of the V12 roadster hardtop because, even though it's a factory job, I can't say I've seen one like it. The previous owner was an old bloke in his 80s from over on the Yorke Peninsular who died following an accident in Europe. During his long ownership he would never have used the hardtop and no matter what the weather, you'd see him driving around with the top down. There's another old feller around the place with a bronze 6-cyl. E-Type and he's the same. I saw him coming down the Kapunda-Gawler road this winter, all rugged up, top down, and in the driving rain. Behind the V12, are a few more E-types, just some of many, and behind them, through the window, is the board room. Not a bad outlook, hey?
This lovely BRG example was in the workshop, keeping a silver coupe company.
Had to take a picture of the front end of this red E-type. It somehow makes me think of a well built Mark 5 (Bolwell that is). Don't know why. I love how the front sub-frame just bolts up to the body/chassis.
Here's one propped up against the wall.
