Bill here, and I am looking to buy my first cat here in the near future. I'm torn between an E or F type. I'm not really concerned about speed; I like carving up corners in Tennessee and Virginia. There is nowhere safe you can do 185 except Daytona (infield Rolex track). With either I would like to know the following (I am coming from a Harley due to a back injury): relative comfort level, reliability (is the thing going to spend 22 hours in the paddocks for every 1 on the road), ease of service, level of fun, and the etc usual questions.

Also, here is the wild question. Obviously I have seen E types on the road, but never one up close. Is there someone in the area kind enough to let me up close (see under the hood, sit in the cockpit to see if I can tolerate sitting in it more than 15 seconds without pain, ask questions, etc)? I know this is about as evil and crude as asking "May I kindly bed your spouse?", to some Jag and/or Harley owners. So I will understand if I get no response to this question or the only one is to go mate with myself.

Cheers.

 

Bill, look up Ted Warren in Bossier he as a all original convertible and loves to show her off.
