Jaguar XK: Matchbox

My first Jaguar die-cast. Been looking for this for quite some time. Glad to have found it finally, and at a good price too! :)

Jaguar XK from Matchbox VIP 2010

The colour is a bit dull if you ask me. But then again, I'm colour blind, so I might be wrong.

I think it would look better in black or silver. Don't you think?

If you look carefully, you'll notice that the rear plate says 5129T5. Assuming that 1=A, 2=B, 3=C and so on, 5129T5 would spell out the word 'ELITE'. (5=E, 12=L, 9=I, T=T, 5=E). It's just an assumption though.

Anyway, the Jaguar XK has been one of my dream cars ever since I first saw it on Top Gear. It's beautiful, it's fast, it sounds sweet, and it's a Jaaaaag!
