It is a 1962 Jaguar Mark 2 sedan. The body is in very good shape as is the interior. It was running when parked inside 20 years ago. I don't know how but anyway I'm waist deep in it now. The head is in Wichita being rebuilt and the rest of the motor is scattered around my steady getting smaller garage. I guess what sold me on this old car was how special it was in its day.  It was the first production car with four-wheel disc brakes. It was the fastest four door car in the world when it was new. It has the XKE aluminum hemi head double overhead cam straight six-cylinder motor with 220 hp and a 4-speed overdrive transmission. With almost 1 hp per cubic inch it had a 125-mph top end and an 8.9 second 0 to 60 mph. It was the first sports sedan. I hope to have it drivable by next fall.[ATTACH=full]339247[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]339248[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]339249[/ATTACH]</p></blockquote><p></p>
