Interesting car - parking it must be fun!

Got any pics of the interior?

By a funny coincedence my latest plaything has a Lincoln link - any guesses?
Jaguar S Type?

Derived from the same floor plan as I understand it. Which model?

You have to ask? The 2.7 diesel of course.

Funnily enough while friends and I were in it (all six of us...) we realised why these cars are called land-yachts.

When one accelerates hard the front rises up like a boat on plane. In fact the front rises so much in this thing it requires an additional instrument in the dash'; an attitude indicator!

Superb, that truly is the epiphany of a yank tank car.

Enjoy it they don't make cars like this anymore nor will they do so, so I'd imagine it must feel special and quirky to drive.

Every time I hear reference to a Lincoln Continental it reminds me of my favourite old-skool rap song

Saw one last year at a show on Plymouth Hoe - with the full hydraulic lifters too.
There really was NO room left in the trunk.
No wetbacks included.

So you put the barn in the car right?

What a magnificent piece of automotive flamboyance! Just missing some bull horns on the front!
