Yes the ones that got away....... an early 1.5 3.8 E type I bought for $11,000 and sold for $15,000. A SL 230 '64 I bought for $13,000 and sold for $14,000. Both were daily drivers.
I did not like either of them ... The manual Sl was too agricultural ( old cars )
The E Type had a Party Dress and a good Engine but was too much trouble and flimsy. Built down to a price I grant you.
At Shannons the most desirable Car for me was the beautifully restored, mid sixties 3.8 manual O/D Jaguar.
Surely the best Jaguar ever built !
