stick to option 1. Your daughter seems to love the car and I am sure you there is plenty of time for you to teach her a thing or two about the car. Next time when she comes and visit, do not let her drive it but let her help you fixing what needs fixing or just show her what is what.. see if she has interest in taking care of your JH and if she picks up.

i'm 36 now and bought my JH in 2001 and had NO mechanical experience with cars let alone classic cars..or lotus..

I don't pretend to be an expert, far from it, but i learned so much during the overhaul and i'm still learning almost everyday. what i can not do, i ask others to help but mostly it is a matter of just doing it and ask a lot of questions prior at this fantastic board.

The shark is back on the road just a week or two and now i'm learning to drive it all over since so much as changed.

Teaching your daughter about JH maintenance etc should be a nice way of spending time together as well.
