History: Long time residents, owners of the best Pizza
Deli’s in the Valley, have enjoyed the car hobby for decades here in Southern
Oregon. The XKE was purchased in the 80’s from a repair shop in Ashland, Oregon
for an outstanding repair bill, long before Jaguars were thought of as
collectable with value. According to the story, it was a random conversation on
an airplane flight that led to finding the Jag. Soon after, it was brought home
in boxes as a long term project.
Over the years, the previous owner worked on the car with help
from local shops and suppliers. Paint was applied most likely in the late 80’s
and the car was enjoyed all of these years, mostly locally with a couple of
longer trips at the beginning of its stewardship. There are no records of any
work done at the time and the one that would know most passed about five years
ago.
The car had not been driven much the past fifteen years,
mostly brought out for parades and the such. The normal course of events was
the car starting the event under its own power but brought back on a trailer by
the end of the day for one electrical gremlin or another. Finally it was parked
and started on occasion, the last time about 2010.Copy and Paste for Videos:https://youtu.be/3GVOURIt6wohttps://youtu.be/wVfXp2gDTREhttps://youtu.be/Z8mGVVVpvlg
