Auto Ego - 1968 Jaguar E-Type - Turning Heads for 38 Years - NYTimes.com
GEORGE SWEEPER, who has nurtured his 1968 Jaguar E-Type for nearly 40 years, has come up with a new defense of the British brand’s reputation for poor reliability.
“There may have been many bad ones made,” he concedes. “I got one of the good ones.”
Mr. Sweeper recalled a road trip that he and a friend made from New York to California in 1981.
“We drove 58 hours to Oakland,” he said. “We drove and drove and drove. We saw the sun come up. We saw the sun go down. We went to the bathroom at the same stops. We got on highway 80 and stayed on it.”
There were no breakdowns.
