Keep it as is, restore it, or somewhere in between?

Well, take a look at how they hold up with 37,000 miles on them.

We could argue that this is a less desirable model, but it seems far sounder than this particular E Type. I'd pass on the E-Type myself, unless I could visually check it out personally.

That car needs a lot of work. The top is shot. It may need new paint. The interior is awful -- cracked leather on center console, chrome trim looks bad. No way that car is worth $97,000. He/she would be better off spending some $ on restoration.

Original cars with low miles have become the fastest growing segment of the collector car world. Condition is an issue, of course, but I've seen vehicles far far worse condition than this Jaguar bring big money.

That is the latest fad. One that even the most rich can appreciate. Do not spend buckets of money to restore it when it can go up in value by being a rusted barn find. Who knew we had so many barns with cars.
