However...

When I did the trip, we were still living on Devon, so we had a good 4hrs+ to even get to Dover. So we did the trip over 2 days, leaving on a Thursday morning, staying overnight on Germany on route. We still didn’t arrive in Jork, until about 6pm the Friday evening. Remember. Whatever google maps te...

Car 66,000 has been reached and published on http://www.facebook.com/xj40register I’ve always loved that photo, the ‘40’s dimensions, proportions and styling really look near perfect.
