I looked at a classic today.

I looked at a 1962 Jaguar Mk II today. I might buy it. I've always wanted a Jag. When the car was new it was the fastest 4 door car made and the only one with 4 wheel disc brakes. It has the XKE 6 cylinder motor and a 4 speed with electronic overdrive transmission. A friend has owned it for the last 25 years and it has been kept inside. The body is straight except for one small dent on a door and pretty rust free. The leather seats look great and so does the carpet and headliner.

I want a ride! Is that at the car barn?

 

[swampratt]

You will be surprised how smooth the ride is in some of these old cars.
I say if it is a friend and you want it and can swing it then get it.

No, the car is in Wichita.

 

[cowadle]

do you have a set of whitworth wrenches? love the wings and bonnet of those old cars

 

[Profreedomokie]

No, I don't have any Whitworth wrenches. One thing I'll have to ask the seller about. I had a 1963 Austin-Healey that didn't require Whitworth tools.

My dad grew up in New Jersey and Pennsylvania around the time period of that Jag. I remember him telling me how some of the European cars would run the highways so fast that highway patrols often couldn’t catch them. I guess that’s why we ended up with bigger and more powerful police interceptor motors.

 

[swampratt]

And those cars needed driven fast.
You bring them here and put around in them and they fall apart.

You got to get them up on the pipe so to say get everything oiling good ya know.
