Default A little bit of dream

Hi everyone,

i'm Olivier, you can write Oliver.
I just bought my first Jaguar... a US 1 1/2 Etype cab.
I didn't received it yet. I have to be patient 2 more weeks before that.

I remember when i was twelve, I used to go to school by feet and a classics garage was just on my way. A gorgeous Etype Serie One was here, onto restoration process. One day i decided to be courageous and asked the mechanist if i could help him with this car. He accepted and asked me to glue the rubbers. That was my first step in this Jag love story.

I have some work to read all what you wrote, i will begin shortly.
Thanks for sharing your passion.

Have a nice day
Oliver

Mark X have to be refreshed... But, it is a wonderfull time capsule.
All is original and dusty, but in a wonderfull condition considering his age.

The E-Type looks magnificent. Just the thing for muscling your way around Boulevard Périphérique and then rapidly south!

The Mk X is indeed remarkable for its age.
