Jags on the prowl

[chris0626]

It`s taken me a while to post these photos. The last weekend of May, for the first time, we took both of the 1975 Jaguar XJ6 coupes to a show, held on High Street (the main downtown street) of our little town. This was the first time we had shown the "twin Jags" side-by-side.



It was a local show, on a lovely day, and we got lots of good looks. Lots of people came out for the show.



We managed to take 3rd-place out of a field of almost 100. Ours were the only non-U.S. cars in the entire show. Mostly, there were early American cars (Model A, etc.), with tons of "muscle cars" (Corvettes, Camaro, etc.). Against that competition, I was pretty gratified that the white Jag got the 3rd-place trophy.

Ahh, what a great photo for the scrap book and trophy for the mantle. It`s a memory you can hang onto long after the cat is gone.

Aw shucks, folks, thanks for the kind words. And since you`ve taken the time and trouble to reply, I`ll let you be the first to know: we`re selling the Jags. The white coupe sold last week, to a Jag-nut in Massachusetts. The buyer will have a shipper pick it up soon (probably by the end of this week.) The red one is now in its last 24 hours on ebay. It`s taken me a long time to reach this decision. Dang! These two cars still take my breath away. But they`ve become too consuming for me, and I need to get back to something like a normal life. So these are probably the last pix you`ll see of these two beauties.

Parting with them must be hard. They will never get as good care as they had.

I`m anxious to see what you replace them with. It`s got to be good!!

[chris0626]

Thanks for the kind words, Bunker. "Hard" doesn`t begin to describe it. I`ll probably leave nail-marks on the back of the trailer when they haul the white Jag away this week.



BTW, last pix of the red Jag are here -- not that I want any Autopians to bid. But they are rather nice photos of a classic hot-red Jag.

Congratulations Lynn, Although you will miss those gorgeous machines.....Others will take their place and your time will be "consumed" again. I have to sell my Camaro very soon to settle my Divorce costs and I`m losing sleep over it....the soon to be ex has always said I love that car more than her. It`s not often that she`s been right about something. Have you found the right BMW yet?

Lynn congratulations on the win!



Sad to hear the Jags are going, but I know the feeling. It`s hard to let the cars go but eventually you will have to move on do something new and different or just spend time doing something else.



BTW I to am selling the 500E, still waiting for someone who will hopefully continue to care for it like I did and perhaps even show it.



Good luck with your future car endeavors.

Lynn,

Nice pics and I can not wait to see what you replace the Jags with.



Terry,

Put another coat of Souveran on the SS, then a for Sale sign.

Sorry, guys. I can`t reply to your kind remarks about the Jag right now. I have to go cry my eyes out. (GAWD, what will I do without these cars????) But thank you for the comments.
