British hand-made sports car? Production sequence?
Oops, need an ignition warning light for this car. I'll just pick up this one lying closest to me on the bench...

A friend has a 4.2 E-type, owned it since new, multiple concours winner. Half the rear decking is fixed in with crosshead screws, the other side with slotted head. One side plain brass, the other chromed. Like it from new. And to cap it all - it has a Daimler VIN plate! Apparently they ran out of Jaguar ones that day...
