Hi! Current and past Mini/MINI owner, currently I have a 2003 MCS JCW and a 2009 Clubman S, still on the lookout for my classic Cooper to finish out the garage. Also have a '69 Jaguar XK-E slumbering in the garage for the winter....... Glad to be here!
I'll have to dig around and see if I have any newish pics of the Jag, I can send you all to my Cardomain site where I show the entire 4 year "rustoration", if anyone wants to go look........ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/505677
very nice, always loved the XKE, please drop us a pic/note on your progress Where are you at now with the car?
The E-Type has been finished for many years - well, "finished" is a relative term I guess, I need to spend some more $$$ on it, but lately all my disposable has been going to the purchase and feeding of MINIs! But, it runs and drives. I need to buy some new wheels, these have some rusted spokes and I don't trust them, and it needs new tires - these are pretty old and hard now. I would love to get a different rear end ratio (the European ratio was 3:07, US cars got 3:54) to drop the RPMs a bit on the hiway, and I really need a new gas tank. I had the original sealed and repaired, but it doesn't have the sump and drain anymore. But, the car is in my garage here in KC and gets driven from time to time. I'd consider selling it if anyone knows someone who might be interested. I have my eye on a terrific Mini Traveler that's for sale......
