"So here we are having this debate on a good project car for the future, Someone mentions the existence of this site and here I am"....
No question, I am a Jaguar fan, Love the stories of older Jags doing the business in Arnage, particularly impressed with the tale of Duncan Hamilton & Tony Rolt in '53, (If you haven't read it - buy Touchwood! from Adrian Hamilton, Duncan's son...Fabulous Read...)
http://www.duncanhamilton.com/
Now to the question...Bearing in mind that this is an AM site, I've been looking for a reasonable project car, Something I can tinker with, and add value too, (I'm a reasonable spanner man), What would be better? Jaguar XK 140/150 or AM DB4/6, Reason I left out DB 5 is I percieve them to be to expensive already.
Best Regards,
Argento
PS - Let's not get into the Volante / DHC debate just yet, I'm looking at Coupe versions only for now.
