The Classified Coupe

This is my 1967 Series 1 E-Type Jaguar Fixed Head Coupe, British Racing Green with
Saddle interior.

I purchased the car in 1980 from the classifieds section in the Tennessean
newspaper.

As long as I can remember, I wanted one of these. It was a daily driver from 1980 to
1994.

I like it because of the great design, and it is fun to drive!
