(69 XKE 4.2 6-cyl. with 265 hp
and 4-spd) I met Randy though eBay on a camera
repair service he was offering. He is now a supporter of the VMC but providing
camera turn-up and repair services (See his camera page). Although,
Randy in the strictest sense is
not a Virginian, he is close enough because he is a "West" Virginian.
Through our email discussions, I found out he is a photographer, camera
repairperson, and restores and repairs his and other people�s cars
(Brittish and American), trucks and tractors. He and his wife are also
involved with Real-estate. He is an expert at auto bodywork repairing,
painting, and welding. Currently, he is in the process of restoring a 1960
MGA 1600 Roadster (it is red too) and a couple of trucks. In the above
picture, I see a "red" truck in the garage next to his latest acquisition,
THE "red" Jag, that is nicely tucked away in his garage. The below
pictures were taken just as he took possesion of this XKE.

He was in the process of acquiring a 54 Vette but ran across this XKE. He never thought he would find an E-type Jag. There are plenty of four seater XKE�s still left, but the two seater is more rare. I agree with Randy that the two seater is much better looking than a four seater (2+2). He has replacement pans that he will install soon. This XKE has the original 4.2 6-cyl. with an unbelievable 265 hp and 4-spd. | |

In addition, he has a couple of Super
Beetles VWs (sunroof and convertible) that he is probably going get rid of
to make room the XKE. In his tractor shed he has a couple of other neat
things. There's a 59 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite, 63 Corvair Greenbrier
Van, a 1953 McCormick Farmall Cub tractor that he restored four or five
years back and a backhoe plus several other trucks. In the recent past, he
sold a 39 ford pickup; something that I have always wanted. Long time ago
he had a Corvair Spider with a MACK truck 8 track stereo - of all things.
