We have the whole show on tape ... nice segments interviewing J., Mike
and me. Shots of the Cherry XK150 trailer arriving, the Cady, Aagard,
and Jennings XKs, John Green briefing judges, and the Sunday
tour/rallye. Some historical footage is mixed in, including XK
production at Coventry, and movie star XK owners.
On the whole, it's very nicely done. It runs about 8 minutes I'd guess
-- and in case you're wondering, the XK120 ranked as the 5th of the 7
wonders, for "styling".
I suggest that we use "Discovery Channel filmed here" as a draw for our
Western States concours.
Will bring the tape to the Cady's tomorrow night, for everyone to see
who hasn't yet.
