1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster

Film actor Clark Gable was a well-known car collector, who owned Duesenbergs including a JN and one of the two famed SSJs - as well as a Packard Eight Convertible Victoria, a Mercedes 300SC and a 300SL Gullwing. This Jaguar is one of three XK120s that Gable had, so he was no stranger to the Coventry marque.

De Tomaso Racing Blue Blood

IF THE MARQUE De Tomaso is mainly familiar to you through cars such as the Mangusta, the Pantera, maybe the Longchamps and, if you're next-level classic car geek, racers such as the P70, then the sheer variety to be found in this mammoth tome is going to come as something of a shock. There are literally dozens profiled here, and one or two will probably be news to even the most seasoned enthusiast.
