I have been a lover of British sports cars from my early college days, nearly 60 years ago. I owned Austin Healys (2), MGBs (also 2, one of which I rebuilt several years ago), and when I could finally afford it, more than 40 years ago, I bought my first Jaguar, a used 1966 XKE, my dream car. I loved its lines and especially the rear bumper and exhaust configuration of that year, which I thought was the best they had done up to then (and better than they did after). I was new to Florida then and spent more than I want to remember trying to keep that car from overheating, which it did with maddening regularity. Still, I never lost my love for the marque, and when I found my present car in May, 2002, a 2001 XKR, brought to the US as a used car from a lot of unsold cars sent to Canada with 25 miles on the odometer, I jumped. My car has not been without its problems, but after several fixes, it now has 90k miles, is dependable, and has continued to be a wonderfully exciting car to drive.
