My father drove a '68 XKE as a DD for 5 years, it was dead solid reliable, replaced the fuel pump when it started making noise, not when it stopped making noise. When I think about it, the V-12 never started giving him trouble until he started parking it to drive something with AC that worked
Toggle vs rocker switches did not make much difference to me
I have seen C and D types, never even sat in one

Briefly dated a girl at Kent State years ago (before the massacre that Sammy laments not being able to reenact to deal with today's protesters) who's doctor daddy bought her one of these to toodle around campus in (Steve MxQueen nad a more civilized version with full windscreen, top and wind wings) - WHOA! Hot hot car! The doctor's daughter, not so much, it turned out.
