Thanks for the kind words, guys. I really enjoy these kinds of discussions on this forum. Karl, if you subscribe to Speed Channel there has been a program airing the last couple of weeks on the Le Mans Classic race that was held this past June. If you watch it, you'll see a Lister Jag absolutely destroying the competition in its race group, being driven with great enthusiasm. Mine is sitting high in the Gallery pics as it lacked a drivetrain when the photos were taken. I'll post some more of it "in the weeds" when it is complete. BTW, you and Hersh and anybody else from CC are welcome anytime you pass through this part of the world. I plan on treating the '40 like the others in my garage--it will be used, but lovingly. One of the most enjoyable parts of ownership for me is sharing these cars. There's nothing like watching the faces as you go past a full school bus, or seeing a kid's eyes when you pull up next to their Family Truckster at the gas pumps.
Man, removing the body three times...I knew there was a reason I wanted to buy a finished one.
Hersh, you must have the patience of Job.
