When I first started dating my wife, my father-in-law had owned over 50 cars in his life (and 30 at one time in the 70s) yet had only owned one foreign car ever -- an '86 Toyota Supra.
When I bought my first Triumph, he said "why would you want a little slow British car -- they never work?"
My influence on him:
He bought an S-Type 4.0 in 2000.
And last night he bought a '73 E-Type Series III Coupe. It was an impulse purchase. 22,000 original miles, very well restored, so I'm told (haven't seen it yet.) It's an automatic car. I believe it has wire wheels. It is the mustard yellow color -- (I want to say it was called "green sand") and tan interior.
The only thing that scares me is 22K miles on a V12 might indicate it never ran well -- or the guy drove with the odometer disconnected /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif.
I've never tried driving a Series III car. Being 6'4", I've never fit in E-Types, but I've always been attracted to the Series I and 1.5 cars.
