Red Barron's Fall Auction
I went to Red Barron's fall auction to see some rare cars. It is held about 4 times a year. I thought I would let you see what a fantastic place this place is. If you have money to burn, and I mean a lot of it, then this is the place for you to come. It is a 3 day event, $100 registraction, Party on Fri. night, lunch and a dinner on Sat. and Lunch on Sun. Fully catered. I went on Sat. morning before the Auburn/Georgia game. A real angst game for me because I went to both schools. Lots of family ties etc.
Anyway they had some really cool stuff at the auction if you want to finish off your estate. Front gates that were apraised at $200K-$400K. It looked like they had raided every estate in England for most of the stuff. Bars, paintings, statues, lawn ornaments that would put any castle to shame.
Among the novedlty items, there was a restored riding lawnmower, old motorcycles, an old Triumph, Austin Healey, and a very rare XJ13. There was even the 1958 Chrysler concept car the Tornado. A race car of unknown vintage with a four banger, 85 Contach with the widest tires I have ever seen on a production car. A Doodle bug motor scooter and lots of other stuff. Some was beyond tacky. But I thought a lot of you would be interested in the XJ. So here are a lot of the pics I took. Hope you enjoy them.

If thats an original jag whats the story with the coil packs and injection and the wheels.?
Would they have covered the seats like that in that period.
It looks to new.
I love it it looks great but I have a feeling in my water that its a repro.?
The signage implies its real.

Re: Red Barron's Fall Auction
I figured as much on the jag. The coil pacs are from Electromotive ignition and I didn't include the pics of the front fans through the louvers but they are flexalites. Couldn't hang around for the actual auction, so I don't know what it went for. Judging by the nature of and dress of some of the participants, the jag would be a garage ornament anyway.
