If by artist, you mean entertainers and celebs, then there are many people who would characterize these very "artists" as the ones with no class. I don't think you go straight into the low or no class bin by buying a Jaguar XJS.

The R129 was a nice looking car. It was a more modern design than its rapidly aging predecessor, the R107, but I sort of wanted to see Mercedes build a SLC based on the 129. I think this wheel combination is very wrong. This wheel should not be installed on the sports cars. Anyway, nice post. Thanks for the pictures..
