But it'd be even better if He appreciated English cars. Those German ones really can't compete -- for Jamie's sake, their wiring isn't even designed by the (legacy of the) Prince of Darkness!

Yes, but neither do modern English cars. Before Austin Powers came out and made them fashionable, and thus, really fucking expensive, I was seriously considering an early 70s XKE Convertible as a toy for weekends and just keeping my Saturn for my daily drive. Of course, the first thing I'd have done was rip out the Lucas electrical system and replace it with a nice Bosch, as actually having working electrics in an old Jaguar would be a necessity. The next thing would have been to rip out the intake and ignition systems, and once again, replace them with modern German fuel inection and ignition systems. Fuck factory restoration, I was going to build a Jag that actually RAN and stayed running.

There are people around that take tired old E-types, replace all the electrics, upholstery, etc, with working stuff, put in satnav, CD changers, etc, rebuild the engine -- while tuning it up to give a few dozen percent more bhp --, put in modern disc brakes all round, etc.etc.. Basically building a new car while using the old block, chassis, and bodypanels, and keeping the Look. These are, allegedly, among the Best Cars Ever. But they cost something on the order of 100.000 UK Pounds.
