Wood calipers, ha, freakin' Brits, at least it is not a wood frame. Sweet job, good color combo, don't think I ever saw an XKE that color.
My dad had a series 2 XKE for about 5 years, then got a '72 V-12, both roadsters. Went with him to pick up the '72. I asked him why he was getting that over the TR-6 they had, I liked little cars even then. He told me that the Triumph was not even half the car the Jag was. That V-12 made the best sound of any car I have ever driven, get up to about 6000 rpm and it sounded like it was about to take flight.
They were both fairly reliable, but between them, over 25 years they spent maybe a dozen nights parked outside.
