Re: On this forum, I'm sure someone else has this.
I have a story to go with this...
My dad and a buddy of his (I'll call him Joe) went to the Chicago Motor Show in (I am guessing) the early 60s. Joe and my dad had fun looking at the cars. Joe was especially enamored with the Jaguars. So much so that he actually arranged to buy the convertible show car that Jaguar had up on the turntable. After waiting some time it was finally delivered to his local dealer and my dad went with Joe to pick it up. Apparently this car was kind of special because the dealership had never seen a Jaguar like this one. Anyway Joe proudly drove it home and proceded to love his early 60s Jaguar show car as much as a man could. One day while out it began to rain so Joe stopped to put up the top. After almost an hour of struggling he gave up and drove home ending up with a wet car and head. Upset, he called the local dealer to complain. Since the dealer had no experience with this special show car, they said they would have someone from the factory in England call him. The next morning a gentleman with a proper English accent called and Joe explained the situation. After a moment of silence the Jaguar rep responded "Sir. A gentleman never drives in inclement weather."
True story.

I recall a story attributed to E. Bugatti back in the 20's or 30's. Apparently a customer of his complained that his Bugatti did not like starting up on cold mornings. Bugatti's answer was that if you can afford one of my cars you can afford a heated garage!

Lucas always gets a bad rap. It's not his fault that Jaguar decided to ground his electrics to burled walnut.

Back in the day, when I installed land mobile radios, every damn Jaguar that came in our door had had an engine fire.

Nope, just this size. But they come in handy six-packs that are delivered weekly for as long as you keep deluding yourself into believing you will ever get the godDAMN thing working again.
So you're good.
