I would assume that since you are speaking of TVR's and Lotus's that you are possibly "across the pond". TVR is not a name you hear about in the US. I do not ever remember even speaking to anyone about TVR's except a Brit who was touring the US and happened to attend the open house at a Jag specialty shop in San Luis Obispo, California. Had to take a look online at you particular models. The 280i has really crisp lines, a nice looking car. As for racing if you read my post below you will see that I did run the track a little in the old days. Always enjoyed.
As for the great difference in my cars, I bought the Charger out of high school, summer of 1978 (thats my baby). The Jag I inherited from my uncle when he passed. He was the second owner, having bought the car from the original owner in 1955. As you can see my clan has a tendency to hold on to our cars for awhile.
I must admit that I really prefer the curves of the XK120 over about any other Jag. I guess that means your 2500M I must like more.
It sounds like you and your brother have a lot of "fun" planned in the future. Have a lot of fun and the best of luck to you on your projects.
