The Story of Richard English and the XKE
as told to me by Joni Keim. It goes something like this: Richard English owned an XKE in Half Moon Bay, a car that he loved, but while the body was in perfect condition, the engine was flawed.
Richard wanted an XKE with a perfect engine AND a perfect body.
His quest took him to Marin County, where an XKE with a good engine was for sale. But the body was blemished. Maybe he realized that you can’t have everything– because he bought it–and then, discovered that, with his great height and long legs, he couldn’t fit inside the sports car without banging his head.
The solution came quickly–He grabbed an axe and began tearing a hole in the roof’s cool metal, an opening large enough for his head of red hair to poke through.
