Oh my, VERY LUCKY man, indeed! Drove my Father-in-law’s XKSS in Monterey, no less. From Laguna to Carmel Valley where we all stayed. It was GREAT experience but way too short of a drive, despite some nice turns over the Laurel Grade.

That’s certainly an interesting question for some. But absolutely out of question for a ‘at least partialy original’ enthusiasts. For, if a original car is artfully modified by a Master sheet metal man as Rod Emory is with his true art, you end up with something REALLY, REALLY special. Still a PORSCHE but a REALLY,…
