This is a little bit of blowing my own horn but it was fun to go to an actual car show. The Jaguar Club of North Texas had a Concours event this weekend and I took my 65 Jag convertible. Won the best of all the Champion Cars and scored a perfect 1000 points. Here are a few pics.
Here are a few more pics since we can only put four up. The bottom photo was the car a couple of years ago.
Sweet E-Type. Congrats on the perfect score. And yes, how fun to actually go to a car show.
Here's my '66 coupe. Numbers match, original (and still) CA car. A wonderful period-piece to drive.
Begs the question:Any cars at the show that weren't red?!?! ;D
Many enthusiasts around the world consider the early XKE roadsters as one of the most beautiful designs ever made.
They are works of art.

Beautiful cars !
Even Enzo Ferrari called it one of the most beautiful cars ever made !
Congrats! That is excellent! I love looking at my 1970 convertible, but not enough to get it to that level!

great collection congrats
Always like early E Types. A friend worked in a junkyard in high school. He bought 3 wrecks and built a 3.8 roadster and 4.2 coupe. I had a coupe a few years ago. The guy I sold it to took it back to England. He traced the history. It was bought by a serviceman in England. He took it to Germany with him then back to the US in FL. It ended up in CA with the second owner where I bought it. The funny thing was it was originally sold by the dealer 5 miles from where it ended up 50 years later.
Hard to believe but this is what the car looked like when we started.
Congratulations ! i love those E-type too !
