I spotted this on Faifax a few days ago and have been meaning to post this up but I keep forgetting it. Fairfax Avenue between Sunset and Melrose has been a hot bed of car spotting for me including a Gumpert, two Bugatti’s and now this TVR. The car did have dealer plates but I couldn’t find a listing of it for sale anywhere. This car got me off guard on the way to LAX so I have to snap this with my Blackberry instead of a good camera.

On a mission to buy the best cupcakes in Los Angeles I wound up driving down Rodeo Drive due to my navigators lack of ability to get me on Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills due to it’s confusing nature. We swung down Rodeo Drive and spotted this gorgeous yet obnoxious yellow Rolls Royce.

After doing some homework it appears the car is owned by Iranian-American business owner Bijan Pakzad who owns a boutique on Rodeo. The store is available by appointment only and is known as the most expensive store in the world.

I found this gem sitting in a parking deck in Burbank, California yesterday while getting some shopping done. Pardon my ignorance on classic Jaguar’s but from what I can tell it is a Jaguar Mark VIII which was in production from  1956–1958. In that three year period only 6,227 were produced and this one was in pretty excellent condition. For a 4,000lb+ 50’s machine the car was rumored to have a top speed in excess of 106mph with a motor that only made 210bhp. A pretty impressive machine to be found just sitting in a parking deck in the valley. I couldn’t really find any good consistant pricing but I am assuming this thing would fall in around the $50,000 range if sold on the market.
