A Jaguar Leaper

This is what's known as a 'Jaguar Leaper'

The little Jaguar you see on front of Jag's

This image is from the weekend. We went to a wedding fayre (at the hotel where my daughter is having her wedding reception ...aka wedding breakfast ...i said last year ...when did wedding breakfast become the term to describe a reception)

Anyway, there were lots of photographer, cake people, formal wedding wear, florists, car hire people , entertainers etc. on hand to offer their services !

This is a shot of the front of an old Jag S-Type that was for hire. You know...the one like Morse drives in Morse or Regan and Carter in the Sweeney ...de de de, de de de, de de de de de de de .....(sorry none UK viewers you must think I'm going a bit barmy...click here for an explanation of all the de de de's

I like the reflections, the paintwork and the little leaping leaper !!

You can see a little 'selfie' in the leaper and a reflection of my other daughters boyfriend ...not the h2b (husband to be ...in Wedding Planning abbreviations)

Oh my daughter booked a 'chitty chitty bang bang' (to quote her words) style old car not an S-Type......August 2013 seems quite a way off yet !

Well at least she's old enough that you won't have to worry about the child catcher!! Didn't know this was called a leaper - it's clearly much loved.

@judithg ha ha Judith, I remember watching chitty chitty bang bang with her on video when she was off school we both jumped out of our skins when the child catcher appeared.

Yes it's a leaper and the little round logo you see on the grill is known as a 'growler'....insider knowledge Judith :) ...I am a IT contractor for Jaguar Land Rover !!!

Well I hope you found all the wedding 'stuff' you needed - it sounded like a grand affair.

That date will soon come so start saving & sounds like two daughters will be an expensive business !! Lets hope you have a bit of space before the other one takes the plunge !! You were very good going to the wedding fayre sometimes men steer clear of those places !! Beautiful car but the ''chitty '' one sounds a show stopper !!

Is that a pair of shorts you're wearing, Phil? LOL! There are lots of nice reflections in the car, like the beautiful tree, the building, two other people, and the jaguar, itself. I don't envy you having to pay for a wedding these days! Wishing you and your daughter the best of success and not too bad of a cramp in your wallet!

Fabulous reflections in the bonnet. Love the shot

Just iconic.

Complete and total elegance!

@marlboromaam maggie, it was a nice sunny morning but not warm enough for shorts. Although I do have quite a wardrobe of shorts to choose from in the summer :)
