Simply Jaguar, 2016

[11001010]

Having never been before, I was quite surprised at the low turnout considering the weather was pretty good. Not many pictures as there wasn't much variety.

 

First up...

I absolutely love the 2 doors. The red one looks familiar to me, though I can't think why.

I watched the Utoob on the CoopV12, linked here recently.

 

Guy says Etypes are 10 to 1 more about than V12 coops (& 5cogs is a top mod).

 

Nice

What's that last one? I have confused feelings about it.

XJC is mucho appealing. Especially with wide arches and Joanna Lumley in the passenger seat.

A supercharged Mk II. I can't tell what the interior's from, although it didn't look bad at all.

 

I didn't get to chat to the owner, unfortunately.

I wondered with the wide arches whether the MkII body had been dropped onto something else. 

Can't say I like the arches but I bet when you push your Brogue into the Wilton (or whatever pish crap journos come up with to say "fucking nail it") they're the last thing on your mind.

Ah, I see what you mean. I hadn't thought of that.

XJ6's are awesome machines. It's sad how values have remained low compared to the Mark II despite being a vastly better car.

 

The rise in Coupe values has been a long time coming.

Nice selection. Where was this? That 440bhp monster E-Type is fabulous.

The rise in Coupe values has been a long time coming.

In about 2001 I went and looked at a Porsche 912 that some guy had restored and had up for sale for £4k just down the road from where I lived. He also had a Jag pillerless coop for £1k that was immaculate that floated my boat which I didn't go to see but really fancied.

 

In my infinite wisdom i didn't buy either and bought a GT6 from 350 miles away instead. Both the Jag and the 912 tripled in value in the time I owned the GT6 whilst it dropped in value. FML.
