Electronic ignition is the way to go.:up:

Agreed.
However I'd keep a breaker point / condenser set on the shelf, just in case.
Unless gas prices were to revert to pre 1973 levels, I'd not be commuting in this model. I imagine it will be driven on special occasions only. Keeping a vehicle in a garage for long periods of time is the kiss of death, particularly to electronic components.
Interesting project.

If you can afford to restore a vintage Jaguar, the cost of fuel shouldn't be a concern. Yes?:)

Reminds me of my early teens when my father owned an XJ-6.....16 mpg which wasn't very much by the then current UK standards.

"If you can afford the car, the cost of petrol shouldn't be an issue".

Again, agreed.
I only considered my POV. If I were to restore, say, a Citroen DS23, I wouldn't be driving it every day, especially not commuting. I'd have to worry about not only fuel mileage, but the occasional supermarket cart dent, or maybe even a fender bender. Not to mention for such vintage cars some replacement parts are becoming harder to find.
On the other hand, a friend of mine who works at a local bank, his commuting car is......a 1960's Series II 109" Land Rover, with which he picks up his daughter at kindergarten. BTW, he also owns a Discovery.
If you have it, enjoy it.
