Hey there! Thought I'd finally drop in and start to peek around. Wish I'd thought about doing that back in March when things started to get locked down.
This is not my daily driver (I swap between a '03 Mini Cooper and a '52 TD MkII), while my wife drives the F-Pace.

This E-Type was acquired by my late father in 64, and was my ride for two+ years in high school, and first year in college (72-74) before I moved into a fraternity house. Flash forward many years - little brother transported the car to Eureka, CA where it was disassembled and repainted (Carmen Red). After sitting in storage for around 5 years, he brought the car back. In pieces, but almost all of them. I had the car lovingly restored to near concours condition at DeLongs (since closed), a process that took several years.

Sorry about the size of the image - this was a picture a friend took in 2013.
