Clyde,
I did, and my apologies for misunderstanding your post.
I do love Jags, but the one thing I can't stand about them is the (in the words of one of the BaT posters) "bloviating". Jaguar concours shows are the worst - horrific nit-picking over this detail or that, like it matters at all. Just like the cat fight over
this car on BaT. My car is missing (apparently....) a chrome strip across the leading edge of the soft top. A guy with an XK-140 send me detailed instructions on how he made this himself - including making tiny half screws/half nails one by one to mount
this strip. Uh, no, that's not happening. Not in my garage. Apparently this would be a large enough point deduction that my car would not be allowed to be shown. GREAT! One less thing for me to worry about! hahaha!!
I once took my car ('54 XK-120 OTS) to a show (not a Jaguar show) a couple of hours from home. Drove it there. Parked next to two "100 point" Jags (trailered in, don'tcha know?!?). An XK-120 FHC - british racing green (yawn) and an XK-150 - resale red (cliche').
My car - light blue - got more comments and compliments because of the less common color but even more because I drove it to the show. When the wife of the owner of those two cars asked me where I lived and how I got the car there (2+ hours, drove it), she
smacked her husband on the shoulder and said "Why can't we do that?!?" Her husband, a psychiatrist, replied "Because he has a normal car." Hahahahaha!!!
Again Clyde, sorry I misunderstood, but thanks for sharing that. Another reminder of why I like my local British car club over the Jaguar club - more fun, and (as on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?") the points don't matter!
🙂

Not me
I could care less about Jags
Did you read the thread on the car?
