ONE Jag in a few hundred thousand burns.... i'd say the odds are on my side... i'll keep my Jag, and i'll keep it in the garage too.... ray:
visit any junk yard, and you'll see most every model car has burnt down... this is being advertised because it happened to Dick VanDike...

Jags have been burning a lot longer than Spyders. Back in the 70's and 80's, it was fairly widespread.

Fuel fumes and stray voltage don't mix.:banghead::banghead:

Years ago one of my brothers had a lawnmower burn, setting a nearby field of wheat stubble on fire. The fire dept. came and put it out. The picture on the front page of the local paper had the fireman hosing down the burnt hulk of the lawnmower. I got the color image from the paper and made t shirts with the caption "NOTHING BURNS LIKE A DEERE"

Any vehicle can burn if there is a fuel source and a heat source. A gas like leak or spilled oil or electrical arcing under the hood can start the ball rolling. If the gas line catches and the key is not turned off, the fuel pump will keep the flames going.

English electronics...

although they are made in India now (I believe) but even when Ford made them the electrics were nightmareish. Have had several English cars and that was always an issue...maybe better now maybe not..:dontknow:

Old jaguars and other Brit cars

In our BMC club were many MG's, Austin's, Jag's, Triumph's and assorted other cars that all used Lucas electric components. We had Tee shirts made with the logo. "Lucas, prince of darkness".
