I talked to the owner who is the Vice Chairman of the Classic Car Club of Hong Kong and he is in the process of restoring a second E Type - shipping the car to England to have the work done. He told me there are three other E type Jags of similar colour if not the same year still on the road in Hong Kong. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HK2015/RedJag1.jpg.html> A second view: <://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HK2015/RedJag2.jpg.html> And the view from the rear: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/HK2015/RedJag3.jpg.html> Walking around the car made me quite nostalgic. I owned a 1972 E Type V 12 when I lived in LA. It was not really suited to hot LA weather and slow traffic and I finally sold it in Vancouver to a Chinese Architect. I still see it sometimes on the streets near where I live when I am in Vancouver. Please look large - C&C always welcome. Howard
