– and inside the cockpit as well! This car was taken to a car show on Saturday where it came in second to a Series 2 2+2 – because – wait for it people… – according to the judges, “Jaguar never used metallic (opalescent ring a bell?…) paints… The ignorance of people judging these cars never ceases to amaze me! If you REALLY want to know what is right and wrong on vintage Jags, you need to talk to the poeple who make their living working on, restoring, and selling them. I have a short list of people who KNOW E-Types – and we are all still CONSTANTLY learning about these cars. So when some moron says something like this, it drives me CRAZY!
