1961 to 1967 JAGUAR XKE / with headlamp covers, often called the sexiest car in the world ! ... 😉😋🤗
It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

Oh Lordy, or should I say “Oh Behave!”
I don't think so, Tim.
Even Enzo Ferrari once said the E-Type Jaguar was the most beautiful car in the world.
I agree that E-Type Jaguars are some of the most beautiful cars ever built.If you can overlook the fact that they may or may not start,in the repair shop more often than not.I always thought owning an E-Type was being married to the most beautiful,useless sorry woman you could find.
I pit crewed for one in 1964. Got to drive it on a date one night when the owner needed to use my Pontiac Tempest to take his kids somewhere. GF's dad really didn't want her to go with me! I behaved myself, and didn't go over 80 MPH.
Beautiful car- so unusual to see one
with the lights working.
Where would you put the deer you shot in order to take it home in that car?
Q: why do Brits like their beer warm?
A: because Lucas also make refrigerators.
Yep same. As usual I'm 180° off of the rest of the world. That is one butt ugly car IMO.😝
as a young kid I wanted one mostly because they were hyped up to be so great and looks were like nothing, I had seen around our small town even a vette was a rare sight
but like most posted later on I read and heard many times they were more trouble than there worth would I buy not no for a few reasons but if some one gave me one then sure just drop in a LS chevy engine or fox ford engine
Ain't my cup-o-tea...

"I was cruising in my Sting Ray late one night,
When an XKE pulled up on the right
He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag..."
Early 1970's Motor Trend article featured a small block Chevy / TH350 swap. It was a great swap too - increasing 0 - 60 time, top end speed, and RELIABILITY !
Just tie it down on the back
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. That's one ugly car in my opinion.
In these eyes, it is gorgeous. In my teen years, one of my buddies Dad was rebuilding one. The last I saw of it, it was still sitting in the garage, motor disassembled and the body under tarps. I doubt it ever ran again unless it was sold to somebody who cared.
The small block Chevy swaps made them a beautiful,reliable car,but it killed the resale value.
I liked them, but not enough to own one. They looked good when they were out of the repair shop. Not so much when the engine guts were strewn about the shop.

My youngest brother had one. He loved to drive it to Borger, TX from home town of Panhandle on Texas 207 (30 mile trip). Nice twisty, low traffic highway.
City cops called Borger cops to ask them to notify them of his departure from their city limits and they would catch him at Panhandle city limits and give him a speeding ticket.
Worked once. Next time he made the run he turned off a mile before the city limits and came in the back way, then cruised by the waiting cop as time expired.
He sold it when he decided that if a tune-up for the V-12 cost as much as a full overhaul of a Chevy V-8 he'd stick with American iron!
Back in 1971 I could have bought a nice looking Jag XKE for 600 bucks. It needed engine work along with me being shy 600 bucks at the time. 😁
When I was a young man, the one I really wanted was a Saab,
1968 Sonett II. V-4 1.5 liter engine. Came with a roll cage since everything was fiberglass about as strong as papier-mâché.
In my opinion the Lamborghini Miura is the best looking car ever made...but like I said.. just my opinion..
Then there’s the...
My personal fave will always be: 1969 Corvette - 427 CID. The 350 was no slouch either.
Now yer talking!
this is close to my dream car:
67 Mustang convertible, but I'd like different wheels and a slightly darker blue...
Worst decision I ever made was selling my 1970 corvette convertible. Second worst , getting rid of a 1969 cougar convertible.
Now there ya go, that's a car!
Had a replica 427 side oiler 2 four barrels... many yrs ago.
They are very nice. Owned a few thru the yrs.
Holy schmolies... side oiler? Huuuuge respect.
I traded for that Cobra at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in the fall of 1992. When the vendors left the track, I took it out on the track and made some hot laps till they stopped me. Humpy Wheeler who managed the track was jumping up and down like yosemite sam and told me ... don't you ever come back here... I showed up two yrs later and we actually ate together at the same table at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He still remembered me. Said..I could go back to the track now he wasn't managing it but managing F1 racing in America. We both laughed.
WHAT?-No fans of the "Edsil"🤩
I bought one of these off the showroom floor when I got out of the service in November of 1969. Fun to drive, and the chicks liked it!
Had a red 1970 Boss 302 with a shaker hood. One car I wish I had back. The newer 2013 are interesting.
I ordered this T/A 455 back in '73. Had it for 14 years and one day in 1987 June and I had been cruising all day in the Smoky Mountains and on the way home we stopped at a grocery store and when we started to leave I started it up and it burst into flames and pretty much burned to the ground. It didn't have but a little over 60,000 miles on it. It was like losing a member of the family.
Damn ! Did someone make you an offer, that you refused ? ... 😆🤣
I ordered the same car in 1973......traded in my 1968 GTO for it.
Wish I had them BOTH back!!! 😪
Super Duty Trans Am ?
