Like many Jaguar cars the front bonnet looks like an aircraft carrier flight deck from the driver's position.
Heh, both my grandfather and my father had V-12 Jags, and "aircraft carrier" is exactly what I remember the hoods being like. They just seemed to go on forever. And the smell of the leather interior is one that I'll never forget.
