Description

On The Turntable: 'Dead Man's Curve' - Jan & Dean
"I was sittin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag"

You won't come back from Dead Man's Curve.

OK, so this isn't the car from the song. And those big rubber stumps on the front bumpers are ugly beyond words, certainly not in character with the XKE styling. And this may be the only butterscotch colored XKE I've ever seen in my life, and I hope to never see another. But if the owner would like to donate it to me - even for 24 hours - I promise to love it and not race a Stingray out to Dead Man's Curve. Now Sweetie, that's another story. She's never seen an accelerator that she didn't want to stomp. But she knows the song too. We'll be careful.

I don't know, I kind of like the color....though those huge honkin' rubber bumpers.... what were they thinking?!

I see you are being swayed by your other common-tater. Sorry twice there supercooper, but I like it, also sorry but nothing personal; I refer to everyone as a common-tater ( including myself :XD: ) if comments are made. :)

I never noticed a difference between the different series jag e-type, but if the ugly big bumpers are a hint, isn't this a series 3? [link]
