'E' Dreamin'! 1964 Jaguar E-Type is still glamorous, glorious and worth the effort.
Kurt Glaisner picked up a pretty nice souvenir from a college football game he attended back around 1990. Glaisner skipped the usual trinkets such as cups, pennants or key chains and went straight for the big stuff.
"We were in Madison [Wis.] going to [the University of Wisconsin] game, and we woke up in the morning and there it was," laughs Glaisner, pointing at his 1964 Jaguar XK-E coupe. "One of the neighbors was apparently going through a divorce and he had it sitting for a sale a few houses down.... It was just sitting on the street. He needed to get rid of it and, yeah, it was for sale, and I was like, 'OK, I'll take it.'"
That day was about 34 years ago, Glaisner guesses, and he still has the Jaguar today—in all of its beautiful, exciting and somewhat flawed glory. He insists it is spectacularly imperfect, just the way he likes it.
