------------------ (Pull the dent ;-) )
> headlamp covers are missing
------------------ (250 $ each (Welsh Jag) Without the chrome retaining
rings)
> clutch hydraulics blown

(in comparison to other things
> cosmetics
------------------ call G W Bartlette (interrior)
> needs new wire wheels (not the worst I've seen)
------------------ (250$ each new)
> It's a 3.8 litre four-speed. It was all I could do to get out of it-
> what a glorious view!!
------------------ looking down the nose of an E is the best view
that anyone can sEE
> The good side:
