Me too. The beaudacious steering wheel lock was highly visible from
outside, and I never had it taken - though it was the mark one version
- the most beautiful sports car there ever was.
Until I got married, that is.

Hey Brian, thanks again for the fastner strength info. Seems as though
our paths have crossed again. I have a hard time reading between the
lines and was wondering what you ment by the "until I got married"
comment. My first take was "she got the mine and I got the shaft???

Please dont tell me your ex got the jag??!?!

PS I got ot know was it British racing green, silver, or shagadelic
union jack?

Nothing so dramatic - just a case of "You've been running that E-type
for five years - but we're getting married: if you sold it, we could
make the down on a house.... you could buy another later...."

It was metallic silver - black soft top, detachable hard top.
It took us through Europe as far as Yugoslavia on a
grand-touring/camping trip. Those were the days!
