I posted this image of my shop. It was the best photo I could fund that showed the lighting, wall/ceiling color and floor

It was taken within a week of my car coming out of loooong-term storage to start its restoration in April 2021.

If it makes you feel better, this shot was taken 21AUG26.
I am in my shop 6-7 days a week -- retirement is GOOD

In April 2021, that thread morphed into a Jag restoration thread about half way down this page:

And some stills. Since it is a Riviera Gran Sport, it came with the 425 Nailhead topped w/ 2x AFB 600 CFM carbs :
