Two weeks ago I had occaision to visit St. Petersburg.  Before I left I
discovered a Jaguar 420 for sale there for $1900.  That's cheap, and I
suspected the car would be in bad shape, but I wasn't prepared for what I saw.
It was a disaster!  Left outside, rust everywhere, interior destroyed, even
unable to tell what color it had been.  It was like looking at a corpse.  I
wanted first to cry, and second to strangle the owner!

So I will repair (not restore) my beloved '71 B even though the floors are
rusty, the splines are shot, there's blue smoke. the paint is lousy, and the
Prince of Darkness reigns.  I'm sure it will provide as many years of joy as I
have left!!

Here's to the ones that will be saved!

Best,

Peter Morris
