It took me quite a time to find the "B" type base, as Stannards only lists it once.

The only thing I have to add to your usual impressive lineup George is the 41A D-type Jaguar, the very early example without the raised decal guide within the casting.

Here's a little nugget that might come in useful one day in a pub. quiz. The D-type was preceded by the C-type, but was that therefore descended from the A- and B-types? Rather surprisingly, the answer is "No". The "C" in C-type simply stands for competition and, if memory serves, it has XK120XK140 lineage!

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.
