Don't get suckered, guys. This car is probably worth far less than has been spent on it. Auto in particular detracts from its value. Also US concours cars tend to be over-restored for show rather than for go.

I also have an XKE I bought new in '71. It has 85K+ miles on it and still runs fine. I have no interest in restoring it. My son can't wait to get his hands on it to restore it. I'll give it to him when he has a garage. And he'll spend more money on it than its worth, I'm sure.

Absolutely. Never buy a restoration project expecting to make a profit. Do it because you love it.

Inevitably. I hope he restores it as a car to use and keeps as much of the originality as possible. I'm really beginning to hate those over-restored, beter-than-new, trailer jobbies you see so many of these days.

Wonderful at Goodwood to see cars which were mechanically perfect - and racing - but cosmetically original. You can't replace patination once you have destroyed it.
