Market commentary
Looking closer and closer at this Jag makes it look better and better until it looks pretty darn good indeed. It is full of intriguing, individual details that hint at an exciting life in competition with an owner, Richard Dietrich, who worked hard at making it work better and better. It may never tell all its stories but just thinking about them makes it well worth this price.
