I just returned from Israel, where I found myself in the passenger seat of a Jaguar roadster roaring through the Judean Hills on a segment of the Holy Land 1000, a 1,000-kilometer road trip through Israel. The morning was golden as we breezed, top down, on the winding back roads to Tel Aviv, 76 cars in all with motorcycle escorts, ending at a rally attended by devoted members of Israel’s antique car association.
Here are some photos from the event:
