Glorious Jaguar E-Type

One of the cars participating in the Chappell Challenge Rally was a 1967 Jaguar E-Type. I just couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Which would explain the higher number of photos of that classic car when compared to the remainder of the cars at the event.

The car, owned by a long-time jaguar club enthusiast, has been well maintained, but has also been driven. The patina of use over the years may detract from the details, but to the people who admire these cars, as they were meant to be admired (driven), they are a badge of respect.

With the Chappell Challenge Rally starting at a Canadian Tire store, the clutter of other cars in the parking lot, ugly signs and buildings and more, do not a pretty photo make. I hope to get more time with this car so I can step back from it and admire it in more controlled circumstances.
