I visited a friend on friday and she moved away from Rotterdam to a place about 45 minutes from where we live. They bought a house and with th house came an old lady. not a person but a old jaguar. Silverblue but in a state that is, well I don’t know how to call it.
Old and abandoned is the best way to put it. She is a Jaguar 3.8 automatic without many part.
The house is huge and belonged to an old married couple that was seperated due to covid and the gentleman even died as a result of covid. The old lady went to a elderly home and the house had to be sold with all that was in and around it. The price was good enough so our friends bought the place from the old lady with the silverblue lady in the yard.
The story is that it was a car that was supposed to, be restored but I don’t know how long ago they stared! And it needs a lot of TLC.
I took some pictures and showed it to hubby when I got home and he said Morse had one! “ Morse? Morse who ? He was talking about :
( source Wikipedia ) Detective Chief Inspector Endeavour Morse, he was the eponymous fictional character in the series of detective novels by British author Colin Dexter. On television, he appears in the 33-episode drama series Inspector Morse (1987–2000), in which John Thaw played the character, as well as the prequel series Endeavour, portrayed by Shaun Evans. The older Morse is a senior CID (Criminal Investigation Department) officer with the Thames Valley Police in Oxford in England and, in the prequel, Morse is a young detective constable rising through the ranks with the Oxford City Police and in later series the Thames Valley Police. I never saw this so I had to look it up.

Well I didn’t see the resemblance with the silver lady but my husband said if our friend would do some major restoring the lady might bring in some extra cash.
I didn’t say anything, must be a guys thing, but there is a lot of work, and there is so much that needs to be cleaned I don’t know that. Its like with vintage things some I understand like clothes and bags, but cars is a whole different ball game.
I had to laugh about the little bottle turtle wax, I think they will need 12 bottles to, let her shine and glow again, like a lady does.
The house is gorgeous and the garden so beautiful.
On my way home I took a picture of the front of The gorgeous house and it’s treasures ...
its appreciated and remember always focus on being creative
instead of being bee-zy.
