1967 Jaguar Mark 2 340

Revisited: 1968 Jaguar E-Type

1994 Mitsuoka Viewt

You would be forgiven if you started thinking that this has become a JDM blog. It's just that this car was too good to pass up.

Based on Nissan Micra components, one might be fooled into thinking that this car is a Jaguar Mk II, Then you notice the modern door handles and exterior mirrors. Then the odd profile. The badges and hood ornament are aftermarket add-ons, and just over the top. I mean, a fake looking Jaguar medallion AND leaping hood ornament!

The big advantage is of course that parts should not be hard to find.

1984 Jaguar Sovereign

1972 Jaguar E-Type

So many classic shapes came out of England during the 50s/60s. Ahh what a beautiful profile, despite the front end occupying a full third of the total length. The more vertical A pillar makes the windshield look more sloped than it actually is. The chrome steel wheels are so classic. And that tidy fuel door on the fender!

It wasn't raining when I started shooting, and it wasn't raining when I finished.

1985 Jaguar Sovereign

1968 Jaguar E-Type

This ghost Jag appeared out of nowhere and disappeared just as quickly. I saw it one afternoon, took these few shots with my phone, and it was gone an hour or two later.

Wheels and tires look brand new. Orange sticker says "IMPORTANT: TO BE REMOVED ONLY BY FINAL CONSUMER"
