Love the Jag, I guess that is a 3.8 ?

I use to have a 1965 4.2, coupe, but not as good looking as yours In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

As requested, a few more pictures:

Click image to enlarge

We do about 4,000 miles a year through Europe in the E-Type, mostly on the back roads because they are fast and not policed. I don't know of any other classic car you could do this sort of thing in. Never have a problem with back ache or tiredness because Jaguar engineered superb ride comfort in what was the first 'supercar' when it was released 52 years ago. It has been totally reliable over the last 12 years we have been doing this and is as quick as a 993. The view down the bonnet and the sound of the engine at full throttle is something everyone should experience once in their lives! It also makes people smile wherever we take it. Sorry for the hi-jack.
