WHO SAYS YOU LOSE MONEY ON CARS ?

I GUESS YOU HAVE ALL HEARD THE STORY OF JIMS OLD C TYPE JAGUAR BY NOW....BUT IF NOT   HERE GOES.....JIM BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 1956 FOR ABOUT  £1000...A FAIR AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THOSE DAYS...HE LOVED HIS MOTORSPORT AND RACED THE CAR QUITE A LOT......ENDED UP WITH A MASSIVE SHUNT AT SIVERSTONE.....SO DECIDED TO REPAIR IT AND SELL IT IN 1958 TO JUST ABOUT RECOVER HIS COSTS OF £1000.   I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL ADVERT FROM AUTOCAR MAGAZINE. YOU WILL SEE THE TWO DIFFERENT PHOTOS ONE IN 1957 WITH POP AT THE HELM IN BLACK AND WHITE AND THE OTHER WAS ABOUT ELEVEN YEARS AGO...WHEN A FRIEND OF MINE WHO RENOVATES OLD CLASSIC JAGS RANG ME UP TO SAY HE WAS GETTING JIMS OLD CAR BACK FOR A BIT OF RESTORATION FROM ITS OWNER IN THE USA AND WOULD JIM LIKE TO SEE IT AGAIN AND TAKE IT FOR A SPIN.....SO WE MET UP AT A PUB IN......... APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH IN SILVERSTONE.THATS THE COLOUR PHOTO.A DOG WITH TWO TALES EXPLAINS JIMS PLEASURE ! ! ANY WAY THE ACTUAL CAR JUST CAME UP FOR AUCTION  IN MONTEREY CALIFORNIA TWO WEEKS AGO AND SOLD FOR THE NOT INCONSIDERATE SUM OF 13.2 MILLION DOLLARS.  SO DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU THAT YOU ONLY LOSE MONEY ON CARS !!!!  I ATTACH LINK TO THE AUCTION SITE FOR ANYONE INTERESTED TH READ THE DETAILS INCLUDING MENTION OF POP AS A PREVIOUS OWNER AND SOME GREAT OLD AND NEW MOVIES OF THE CAR.
