#1 Worthwhile merchandise for a change...?

I am always amazed at how the 'usuals' apparently sell shed-loads of the various mugs, scarves, pens, badges etc one sees on display in the average Jag shop foyer. Merchandising materials for our 'brand' are apparently an important revenue stream, that helps fund investment in some of the serious parts being remade today.
I generally ignore all that stuff, but surrounded as I am by far less pretty versions of these, I might make an exception next time:

No affiliation etc.

(whose 'mug' would probably benefit from strategic placement of several scarves...)

Now if they offered that in an OTS....

The OTS would only hold 2Gigabytes though Mark :)
The 2+2 version would hold 8 I suppose :-)
As for me, I'd settle for something less than 26 quid!

You know that any Jaguar part commands a premium price. You can probably get the Camry model USB for 2 pounds.

Well spotted Pete, I will grab a picture and add it to our 'E-Type Bric a Brac' thread in Collectors Corner. I have to say it does display a bit of lateral thinking for a change.

I think the bonnet coming off is a nice touch. Pity they couldn't have twin polished cam covers on the USB insert, or is it a V12? :-)

I got one off e-bay a while back. It seems most Jag dealer had them for the 50th. It is a good quality item and has a rather pleasing tactile feel.

Does it leak oil?

Strangely enough no, but I guessing that would be because it's probably not made in Great Britain. :D
