but that alone doesn't tarnish Jaguar's acomplishments. From dominating Le
Mans
in the fifties to building arguably the most beautiful car every made
[61-67 E-Type].
The Lucas electronics were mostly to blame for the problems they sustained.
The idea of replacing the beautiful 4.2 litre straight six with a small block
chevy is a repulsive one.Stop by a Jaguar dealer and take a look at their
present
offerings,and if you can be objective about your opinion, I think you will
see
why people enjoy this marque.
