PART 3: What do you do with a dream car that needs a lot of help?

GR HISTORY, PART 3



(Apologies for the long gap. Many things conspired against me. I'll soldier on…)



So… when you have the car of your dreams sitting in your carport, what do you do? Take it apart? I recommend against that, no matter how tempting it might be. Unless you have a plan and funding and a good set of people ready to do the work, you're very likely to get interrupted -- usually for years -- and boxes of parts tend to disappear. And that thing that was worth X when…

WHEN JAGUAR HUNTERS MOVE IN FOR THE KILL

This is a story of ugly speculation. It starts with this Jaguar XK 120 Roadster that was offered for sale in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for approximately $13,000 around the end of October 2010. As can be seen from the ORIGINAL AD it was a pile of rusted out metal that was originally in an open field. Not only was this car clearly missing major parts but above all,  it was…

Restoration Revisited...

The clock is ticking down ... to March 13, when I started the restoration of Gattino Rosso. I'm planning to step through the notes I took two years ago in "real time", meaning at least one 'new' posting each week. Rafe will steer my posts to the GR blog (merci!) and I'll try not to clutter up the main one.

 

I'm hoping anyone interested in taking the plunge will get a better sense of the things an owner goes through while trying to make decisions and keep everything on track.…
