    Hi Dave;
    Would be interested in seeing your car sometime. My wife and I are from Windsor and visit her father there a couple of times each year. We also have a '68 ( 1E 17727 ) which we purchased in Connecticut in 2003. It's been a great car and we enjoy it immensely . Good luck with your restoration !
    Regards,
    Don

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
