Mark 2s can go across hot deserts as long as they are watered well! And go across the Rocky Mountains with a little perspiration.

looks like it was taken at Vista del Mar
Since many listers are including their wives, here’s a photo of the Mrs. peering out of the passenger window while parked in Malibu CA. The car was sold new in California in 1967, the color is ‘honey beige’ with a red interior.
MRCHB - Yep, VDM one of the best beach cruises imaginable. Never gets old.

I am so tempted to get the wires on my car powder coated black when I see images like this.
Here’s a token interior - our '63. Paul

FYI, not really a Mk2, but close enough…
I picked up this old 15 inch Moto-lita wheel a few months back , not sure how old it is , they took a bit more time making them back in the old days , you can’t see the alloy from the out side rim , all wood !

Hmm ‘S’ type with MK11 rear arches 
My '65 SType’s rear wheel arches were modified the same way by the previous owner. I really like the modification, because now you can get the rear wheels on and off and it is possible to fit slightly wider tires. The repair panel, available for a front fender, has been welded into the rear wheel arch. I may have replied to the wrong photo when I made this comment, my apologies. I intended this comment to appear next to the photo of the SType with the rear wheel arch modification.

The repair panel that is available for front wheel arches has been welded into the rear wheel opening. I have an SType that has this same modification. I really like it because the rear wheels are much easier to get on and off. I think it improves the lines of the car and allows for more options on tire sizes that will fit.

Wow! I thought my engine bay was crowded! You put me to shame.

That is amazing. Have you driven it? Is it wicked?
Also - your motor has a very distinct tick. My new 4.2 has a similar sound. Is that a 4.2 thing or is it a shim out of spec or are you not worried about it?
