That is a gorgeous ride!  I assume those stickers mean that it's had two accidents that required rebuilding?  I wonder if something didn't pinch the harness along the way and cause some broken wires.

This is what caused the second rebuild...  

I will try to find the pictures of when I first got it.  Its left rear quarter was damaged.  It was a relatively easy fix, involving a tail light and some minor body work.  The rear bumper was re used.

She may talk smack and say she doesn't understand us weirdos, but who's the first one out there?

Before I go to the Jaguar forum and sully myself forever with post #1, what the berkeley is this? I know it's a spark plug jammed into a large tube on the left of the gas tank, but I doubt that is on the Coventry list of restoration tips. Any good story?

Well that was quick. It drew blood already.

That really is a weird place for a spark plug.
