At present I'm restoring a 1966 S type Jaguar but here's one I did earlier.

























Next was the Mk1 Capri will post that later in the week when I have more time.

My father had a Mk1 1500 GT many years back, they had to sell it to raise money when they got married! He always hankers after one.

He still has a 1967 MK2 series 1 1600E that he has owned since 1971.

I remember some of the classic sports car races in Santa Barbara California
when I was going to college in the '60s and watching the Cortina's going around the corners on 3 wheels.
The newer twin cam must make it scoot
beautiful car it needs a little lime green strip --just kidding sweet as it is
cheers
Hank
