Pics of my car with my dad's Jaguar E-Type
My dad came over to watch the Belgium GP this morning, then we washed / waxed his car. Thought you guys might like some pics what I consider 2 of the most beautiful cars ever made

Watch out for that cat though, it may lay on your car instead of guarding it!

Does your dad take it to any of the british car shows in VA? My dad took his once, even though it's not quite in show condition, just to have some fun and meet the other owners.

Ah....my favorite car of all time....the Jaguar XK-E! 
I literally have every book ever written on them....this car has been my dream car since the early '60s. I have always said my life won't be complete until I own one.
High five your dad for me....he is a lucky man to have such a pristine Series One car.
What is really cool in the analogy between the two cars is they have almost EXACTLY the same performance!

Yeah, we frequent the british car shows in the richmond area and sometimes down at VIR. That second picture was from the skidpad at VIR. Usually my dad will drive his healey and I will take the Triumph TR6 which was actually my first car. Then I restored it and it is now under "joint custody" between my dad and I. 
Lookout for the healey and this TR6 at the local shows...
Oh, I forgot to say earlier: very nice cars in the first post!

. His mechanic has a line on a set of D-Type heads and cams, along with a triple Weber DCOE carb setup with velocity stacks for him, but he still hasn't gotten them. I raze him about it everyweek.

Nice pics! I love the old E-types - they're just stunningly gorgeous cars. A lot like the FD - truly timeless design that will look beautiful forever and never dated.

FD_Dave, my dad's E was originally sold in France and shipped back to the states by an Army Capt. The speedo is in KPH too, along with a few other minor differences that I can't remember off the top of my head.
