I like that 356... it's actually made from leftover bits & pieces.

There was a story a few years ago in Sports & Classic car about a Jaguar restoration specialist in the UK. He's renowned for his 100 point restorations on Mk2s, etypes, 120 &140s.

But even he gets bored of "perfect" cars. So, for his daily driver he has a 140 coupe that looks like someone put air in the tires and pulled it from a chicken coop. It is PERFECT mechanically, and even has a rare "C" engine.

I don't car for the idea of "adding" patina though. It's hokey, like torching & beating furniture to age it.
