A little more on topic...

My old man had a Jaguar roadster (late '50s model I think) that was just awful. It required constant attention and maintenance. IIRC, carb. and valve adjustments were frequent issues and, of course, overheating here in the hot and humid southern US.

He did love it though until he got hauled to jail for speeding. Evidently 50mph over the speed limit was a ticket straight to jail. My grandfather on my mother's side (DETECTIVE grandfather that is) had to bail him out. The Jag was sold shortly thereafter. If he had kept it, I would have a different mother!

P.S.
Yes, he regrets pulling over but, he was afraid of breaking the car if he tried to run.
