Every time I make a blanket statement, I get in trouble. Arrgg…I just did it again. The statement I made the other day was something about kit cars being mostly replica Cobras and things based on Volkswagen Beetle chassis and that the Jag kit was interesting and unique…and then we got a tip for another […]
What’s an E-Type worth these days if the front end looks charred and you can’t even tell if it is the gorgeous coupe or the ungainly 2+2…which can’t be that ungainly if you have a hard time telling it apart from the coupe…but I think this is a 2 seat coupe version offered for a […]
The XKE Jaguar came in a few flavors — the gorgeous topless model, the curvy coupe and the slightly bulbous 2+2…which isn’t really as bad as it sounds — personally i’d drive one every day if they weren’t so bloody expensive…oh…wait a minute. Find this 1966 Jaguar XKE 2+2 offered for $15,000 near Kansas City, KS […]
The seller claims this next car started out as Jaguar E-Type 2+2 coupe that had been in a roll-over accident, but it looks more like Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder than anything…so I’m going to assume that wormholes in the space-time continuum had something to do with the fact that you can own this thing today. Find […]
This week the Thursday Twister is simple. What is your dream car? Any car, any price, anywhere in the world. Would you get some new hyper car with some whiz-bang gadgetry or some over-inflated classic from the past? While I’d love to take a Bugatti Chiron out to a Texas standing mile competition, or drive […]
The Jaguar E-Type is the classic that needs little introduction to the automotive world, however I feel that I need to bring one thing up before we go any further. You might want to shove a carburetor fed small block chevy into the engine bay, but don’t do it. You wouldn’t roll up a cigarette […]

Whoa, a sub $10k Jaguar E-Type…did that mail order time machine finally arrive? Are we in 1982? <checks smartphone calendar>…nope, says 2015…but then I’m not sure how you are supposed to tell the date from a calendar if you were to travel back in time..what is going on? Oh…somebody dropped a forklift on the front […]
Ever see a person on the street covered head-to-toe with ink and wonder how it all started? Just one little tattoo to mark a right of passage or something they did while drunk. A few more tattoos later and suddenly that arm won’t look good unless the entire thing is a full sleeve tat and […]
Our Sunday pick-me up celebration continues with a car that Jeremy Clarkson once famously called the “car of the century.” “The beguiling, bewitching, beautiful E-Type Jag” isn’t often seen on the pages of DT because they are rare (supply) and sought after (demand) classics and typically live in the garages of the well-to-do. That is […]
