This one's not funny.

Norman Dufour bought one in Massachussettes in say 1969.
An E-type it was and a beautiful thing it was too.

Good thing too as it made a great driveway ornement.

Nearest authorized Jag repair dealership was
in Conneticut.

Between electrics and fuel pumps that car spent more time
being driven on car carriers then it did under it's own power.

It sure was pretty though.
