Thought I would share it here.
Gee I almost got 100 faves and last year not a single image got 100 faves.

Classic Jaguar XK120 seen and photographed at the 2021 Greenwich Concours Show
The XK120 was launched in open two-seater or (US) roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a testbed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine designed by Jaguar Chief Engineer William Heynes. The display car was the first prototype, chassis number 660001. It looked almost identical to the production cars except that the straight outer pillars of its windscreen were curved on the production version. The sports car caused a sensation, which persuaded Jaguar founder and Chairman William Lyons to put it into production.
Beginning in 1948, the first 242 cars wore wood-framed open 2-seater bodies with aluminium panels. Production switched to all-steel in early 1950. The "120" in the name referred to the aluminum car's 120 mph (193 km/h) top speed (faster with the windscreen removed), which made it the world's fastest production car at the time of its launch. In 1949 the first production car, chassis number 670003, was delivered to Clark Gable.
1951 XK120 Fixed Head Coupe
The XK120 was ultimately available in three versions or body styles, first as an open 2-seater described in the US market as a roadster (OTS) then as a fixed head coupé (FHC) from 1951 and finally as a drophead coupé (DHC) from 1953, all two-seaters and available with Left (LHD) or Right Hand Drive (RHD). However, certain Special Equipment roadster and fixed head coupe cars were produced between 1948 and 1949 denoted by an 'S' preceding the chassis number. These Special Equipment cars were sold as an early production build for enthusiasts.
A version with a smaller engine (2-litre 4-cylinder) designated the XK100 and intended for the UK market was cancelled prior to production.
On 30 May 1949, on the empty Ostend-Jabbeke motorway in Belgium, a prototype XK120 timed by the officials of the Royal Automobile Club of Belgium achieved an average of runs in opposing directions of 132.6 mph with the windscreen replaced by just one small aero screen and a catalogued alternative top gear ratio, and 135 mph with a passenger-side tonneau cover in place. In 1950 and 1951, at Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry, a banked oval track in France, open XK120s averaged over 100 mph for 24 hours and over 130 mph for an hour. In 1952 a fixed-head coupé took numerous world records for speed and distance when it averaged 100 mph for a week.
XK120s were also highly successful in racing and rallying.

no modifications - straight from the camera. View large to see the foglights
Guess no trip to Paris is complete without seeing the tower.
Legend has it that the tower is also used as a lighthouse on cold, dark nights :-).
The bright overexposed area in the middle had lights marking the now-failed bid for 2012 Olympics. The street lamps, going under the tower, are 20 feet high..so that gives you an idea of its size!

This is one of those weird foggy days and seeing as I live right by the water, my area gets it heavy. The sun was up and peeking through and the reflection was almost like the time when Mt. St. Helens spew ash everywhere.
It's as well the trains aren't stopped because of fog on the line. I said "fog on the line" not "Fog on the Tyne" ... I have that song in my head now. Ho hum.

There were a few other photographers out there with me that evening. Some of them made good subjects.
..from winter! When the days are so hot … and the nights too .. it's time to look back through last winter's folders for a cooling image!
Here is one when we were blinded by heavy freezing fog …. and driving was a scary and a very cold experience!
Happy Monochrome Thursday 😊
and Happy Fence Friday too!

Photographed while exploring with Kiyoshi-san. Cambie Street, downtown Vancouver. September 13, 2019.
This Sunbeam Talbot looks nothing like the nippy little Sunbeam Alpines. It is like matriarch full of majestic curves.
A bit crosseyed (the foglights) but still on the road. My parents bought one of these in a pale blue when I was about 7 years old. They had three kids then, my youngest sister wasn't yet born. Replaced a few years later by a VW Bulli.

Mark IIIBJ8 sports convertible
The 3000 sports convertible Mark III was announced in February 1964 with power increased from 136 bhp to 150 bhp by a new higher lift camshaft. SU HD8 carburettors replaced HS6 units increasing the choke size from 1.75 to 2 inches, or total area 6.3 sq. inches, increasing by 30.6%. Power-assisted braking became standard instead of optional. The new car's fascia displayed its speedometer and tachometer directly in front of the driver. Upholstery was now in Ambla vinyl
The Mark III BJ8 remained in production until the end of 1967 when manufacture of the Austin-Healey 3000 ceased.
In May 1964 the Phase II version of the Mark III was released, which gained ground clearance through a modified rear chassis. In March 1965 the car received separate indicator lights.
17,712 Mark IIIs were manufactured.
The signals off the "Big T" cantilever shine through the fog in in Joliet, IL, creating a cool looking beam effect.

A round headlight mounted centrally in the front of a vintage Oldsmobile. Foglight perhaps, as it already has bulbous healdlights on both sides?
