I just got ahold of a 1967 Jaguar XKE and was wondering if
anyone else out there had something similar.  So far, no
troubles and it drives like a real charm.  I realize maintenance
will be expensive, but for the time being I don't care.
One thing I worry about is how I find someone who can work on
a car like this when something too rough for me to handle comes
up.  Any recommendations for ways to find qualified mechanics
for old Jags?  If anyone in the Southern California area knows any,
that'd be an even bigger help.

Also, what sort of things should one do to take care of
old, old leather upholstery?  The interior is in pretty good shape
and I'd like to keep it that way.  The driver's seat is a little
worn (as can be expected), but still nice.  I'd like to protect it,
but would rather not go all the way to seat covers because I like
showing the leather.

Thanks in advance, please follow up with any useful info you
might have.  It'd be appreciated and I want to keep the Jag as
nice as it is now, for as long as I can...

Byt the way, they sure new how to use chrome in those days...
Twin chrome dipsticks are just too much!!
