Must be Jags. All of them have drip pans. (LOL)

Actually, quite impressive. Thanks for posting.

Interesting the way they are all on blocks like that.

Very nice.

But I don't want to know what those blocks are doing to the floor finish.

P.S: When I saw the oil pan I knew they were Jaguars! Just kidding.

great idea.. probably slow down any possible theft .. not "gone in 60 seconds"
And which oil leak do we want to tackle today?

I am pretty sure this gentleman and his collection were profiled in one of the ultimate garage books, a great collection!

Nice!!! The only thing I don't like is that they are on blocks. That means they don't get driven. Pity. It's like owning the Mona Lisa and never looking at it.

If I remember correctly the cars went on the blocks during certain times of the year due to risk of flooding in the area.

they probably all leak oil because they are not driven. Seals go bad if they just sit.

Other than the flood time of year I can tell you I have seen most every car drive except the Wonder Bread car at one or another. I have ridden in several of them. In the later years I don't believe theywere still currently plate registered and just driven at that location on the track.

What a shame they are in a building that could be flooded. I bet the Insurance is a problem.

Ford does own Jag - maybe they threw in a GT40 with every 10th overpriced Jag he bought!

 

[Mr. Welsh]

Ford does own Jag

Fantastic!!! I wrenched on Jaguar, MG and Triumph cars for 10 years in the 70's and early 80's -- that brings back some nice memories. Thanks for posting these pics.
