Hi all,

It was my birthday on Friday and I had the privilege of hiring this gorgeous 1971 Series 2 for the day in and around Nice, France.

Not exactly cheap, but what a treat! I might have to go back for that XK120 another time! Nice Rent a Classic were superb and a pleasure to deal with , if your budget will stretch to it, this is recommended. They also have a V12 E-Type on a auto box if the manual is not to your taste.

We took the car on the Corniche roads via Monaco into Italy,  and it was a bit busy at times. If I was doing it again, I'd be tempted to head into the Alpes Maritime for some hopefully quieter roads, but all in all, it was superb. The car was iconic, torquey with effortless power, so what if brakes and cooling were not up to modern standards, just look how pretty she is!

Although it was actually quite a relief to return the car unscathed, I imagine worth c£100K, and the €6000 deposit did focus the mind somewhat!

All the best, Russ
