Thanks Cass.
I've seen one 340 and a MkVII and heard there are a couple of Mk2s. There were 6 E-types at the big show, only one from near here.
But lots of MGs, and Triumps on the drives so they are lots of fun.

I go to a local show and might meet up with one other S type but I know of 10 within 30 miles of me. You must have the only S Type in South Carolina David.
Nicely turned out as usual so well done. I am sure it will just take time to discover where all the local car shows and meetings take place.
Mine has 75000 on the clock with just two owners but it has been rebuilt where as yours is untouched and so well looked after.

Yes very well done David, I imagine not too many British classics locally.

Pic was taken in '98 when I ran a classic car tour from Halifax Nova Scotia Canada down to Florida with CAARGB.

Congratulations, David. Very well deserved. And I'm sure the one-owner history helps.

Lovely pic, too, Nigel. When was that taken?

American roads are are such a change from the congested UK roads. This is a photo not far south of you David, didn't see another car for over ten miles.

i'm still amazed every time that I go for a drive out here. I can go out for an hour's drive - on good two lane back roads - with curves, - up hill - down hill - no traffic lights - and very few other c ars :D
We should have moved here 30 years ago.
But is a great place to be driving our 'S'=type at our ages.
We only miss having more interesting cars around and more driving events - we miss how much car activity there was when we lived in the UK
BUT that was 40 years ago and Ii had a 1931 Austin Seven Tourer as a daily driver! Even drove it into London.
Times change
