[QUOTE=zornet;367350]A few offerings in this slowed economy.
Zornet, everytime I see your pictures it's a grim reminder that we are in the middle of a worldwide recesion...
Thanks for the pics!

Jay Leno already has one or two of these, so, you wonder who's garage this is destined for?

Remember Simon Cowell has one too:

Re: Exotics @ LAX
No that's an XK-120, and apparently one in very nice shape. I could use a few parts off it though if you think the owner won't mind. Do you know where it is going or if it is for sale, etc?

Too early yet, they normally don't start arriving until late July or even up to a week before the Concours d’Elegance which is the 3rd Sunday of every August.

Re: Exotics @ LAX
A good economic indicator for countries are which way exotic collector cars are flowing. For awhile Japan soaked them all up, then it was the US and then the oil producing countries. Zornet you could get your on financial guru TV show...

Re: Exotics @ LAX
Zornet,
Is that the new XFR? or something else? I wish they'd bring the XK60 here...

UPDATE: This actually is the 2010 XJ as per jalopnik.com, which was spotted at Nürburgring.
Here's another 2010 XJ, 24hrs earlier.

Maybe coming in for the Monterey Historics? I downloaded the entry list - I'll take a look later...

My bet is also on Historics next month, will I see you there? Porsche is the mark this year. Maybe I'll take some of my painter's tape with me and bring the Glöckler up-to date .
