"My Dad's Car"


GT38...that is absolutely one of the best posts ever. Thanks for sharing.

Same Jag as yours, only white! Kinda makes one wonder what stories Roman will have!?

Thanks. Most searches for former cars don't have a happy ending and I am very fortunate. There is much more to the story that is too convoluted to get into here - lots of rabbit holes to get side-tracked on. But some of that would only be interesting to E-Type aficionados. I regretted selling the car from the moment it drove away, and until I found the car in 2006 I told people it was the dumbest thing I'd ever done. In retrospect, it was the best thing I could have done because it set in motion events that were far more interesting and enjoyable to Jeff & me and to Christoph & his family (some of the nicest people you could ever meet!), than if I'd kept the car.
 
Lots similar in this GM link...Gar Guy's Dads' Cars are lineage

Great story, and those photos in the Swiss Alps are amazing! I also second the idea of publishing your story. :thumbsup
