Hello! New to this forum and enjoying the postings I have read. I'm very interested in E Types and so glad to see that the SII Jaguar E Type is not considered a E Type from another planet on this site! I cannot understand the unappreciation of the SII and SIII cars by the SI purist.
The SI cars have become way to expensive even for candidates for full restorations. I was shown a '66 SI car still owned by the original purchaser's family having only received 1 body on paint job because the paint had faded so badly. Still has original interior (worn as you can imagine) for a "tad" over $100k!!!
I'm still looking and have now gained a great appreciation for the SII cars! Even nice driver cars with refreshed interiors are creeping toward the $90 - $100k figure.
Glad to be here and hope to be in a E Type sometime soon! Thanks for letting me join the group!

Corrected Introduction!
First....My apologies to all for failing to follow the required format with my first intro! Promise I'll be better in the future!
I'm Lawrence Loyd, I am a proud American, and a US Army Veteran. Retired from Telecom. I live in Richmond VA. I do not own a Jaguar yet! I'm looking at E Types as I mentioned in my first post.
