A Shaguar? Yeeaaah, Babay!

You can almost hear the Austin Powers music in the background, can’t you? So what do you do when you’re comin’ in HOT to 50yrs old? Simple. You buy a rolling extension of your manhood!:hmmm: Yes, with only about seven months left in my 40s, I figured it was time to venture into the unknown aspect of the classics for me: English Iron. I’ve had/have a Ferrari, BMW, Porsche, but nothing from across the North side of the pond, and what better way to satisfy that desire than a classic E-Type?:biggthumpup: Yes, I could have bought something nice and reliable, but what fun is that?

Through a contact I have with my 507, I snatched this one up. 1968 Jaguar XKE featuring a 4.2 litre big six, three SU carburetors, and an electrical system that even makes its manufacturer cringe. Fortunately even when broken down on the side of the road, the “stop you in your tracks” loos that make the womenfolk weak in the knees :laugh: still make you look cool waiting for the tow truck to arrive. :hmmm: It’s the ultimate icon of the 60s British Invasion!!!

Yeah baby!!!

Always loved the look of these. When I was a kid, My dads buddy had a green one with a V12! Look forward to learning more about yours

Daayumm!

They are beautiful cars, Dave. That looks like a nice one.

They are true styling classics!

Congratulations!!!!!

Pretty awesome purchase Dave, congrats! That's going to be fun, much like an extremely dysfunctional relationship. When they goings good, it's a blast, but when there are problems, it's a nightmare, lol. Best of luck!

I turn 50 next month so I bought this :-)

Love the Jag Baby!! I worked a few weeks at a factory feeding the Jaguar plant in Liverpool England fond memories.

I'm in the club too! I turn 60 this year so I bought a Hellcat. So I guess it's my 3/4 life crisis car? :hmmm:

P.S. at least we know you'll have a really long unending thread on the Jag with all the fun electro-gremlins just waiting to ambush you.

Or you can convert it to 'lectric and instead of a key to start it you'd have a switch that said:

Jag-On
Jag-Off

:grin:
