Royal Wedding Jags: a set-up but a nice one

I am sure the ladies 'round the world got a kick out of the wedding gowns at the latest Brit Royal Wedding but us car guys, what we noticed the two Jaguars. First some 1951 MKV dhc with a chauffeur and then an E-type that, upon further inspection, turns out to be the oldest E-type open car known, borrowed from Jag. Ya kinda wonder if Jag had to pay for being so well featured or it was just the Royals being nice to a famous Brit automaker? But no matter, it's great PR... Here's the story from the Telegraph website on the cars:

Jaguar E-type at Pippa Middleton's wedding is world's oldest

There will always be an England!

 

I found a letter undated from Bentley saying if I give them name of my preferred dealer they will put me on the list for visitors to the Bentley House--a mansion they rent with food, some Bentley sales material, and a glimpse of The Good Life in Pebble Beach. Last year I got to go there, dine, hear a pitch on custom ordering a car (not mandatory) and drive a Bentley turbo. I don't know how old the letter is
so I don't want to give her name but basically it's whoever is in sales promotion at their US HQ.
