Was that a type E coupe? I never liked the coupes too much but the
roadster
was such a beautiful car that even Enzo Ferrari praised it, I understand.
It also drove beautifully....but,
it was an English made Jaguar, and it had its problems. Supposedly they
kept
that 6 cylinder engine for 25 years with few or no changes.
