Totally agree. If I could afford it, I'd have two Jags. One to drive while the other's in the shop. It's a Jaguar joke and very apt. It'd be twins of this: Access Denied

To fully restore it'd be around $50K including a new straight 6 engine. Plus I'd change the exterior color - one would be British Racing Green (a British Motors color) and the other would be burgundy.

Good luck with the US ever making such a sleek, delicious, decadent, delightful vehicle. Corvettes are tacky. They're "look at me I have a fancy car!" while Jags are "I'm too awesome to care if you look at me or not"
