There are a few things that I've learned over the years.
1) It is cheaper to buy a car that is already fixed up than to fix it
yourself.
corollary: the most expensive cars I've ever owned were given to me.
2) It basically costs as much to restore an MG as a Jaguar.
You can buy a nice E-type coupe for about $16,000. That is about
what I was figuring that I would have spent on my BGT when I was
done fixing it up. So, you can buy the Jag for about $4,000,
and spend $10-15,000 fixing it up. Or you can buy one in nice
shape for about $15,000 and drive it.
