Some cars have a patina of age. This car epitomises the term 'patina.' It is a real time warp car. It looks as if it's never been washed. Fantastic! I saw a similarly patinated XK-SS at Goodwood in 1999. Really wonderful. There's something very special about cars like this. Saw this Cobra at Pebble Beach August 2009. It has a fascinating history. I just wish I'd taken more pics, but there's just so much to see at such events it's really not possible to stand and study the cars or take tons of shots.
