I think this is one that was built during the Ford ownership. My brother had one from about this time frame, and it was amazingly reliable for a Jaguar.
I gave him a lot of crap about buying it, but pretty much ended up eating my words as I don’t recall him ever having issues with it. I’ve got to call him tonight, so i’ll try and remember to ask him about it. The finnie gets finished today. I’m preparing to go out to the garage this morning and install the refinished wood trim on the left side door cards, and that’s it. I’m planning on driving it to work some time this coming week to take some beauty shots of it in front of a local theater downtown, then it will get submitted to BaT. I know someone who has a car in to BaT right now, and they’re saying they have a two week lead time for auctions. That’s a heck of a backlog, considering they’re doing far more than 15-20 cars a day. -D > On Jul 14, 2019, at 10:27 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Reminds me of an experience. > > Some years ago when this model first came out, I rented one at Budget, they > had high-end cars and if you were some kind of preferred member you could > rent them.
