The 88 year old obsessive collector

This is Ken. A 88 year old Cornishman with a passion for Jaguars. He's a humble man and real gentleman with an immense amount of mechanical knowledge when it comes to cars. Ken started his collection at the age of 19 and since then has amassed over 20 different models.
From XK124/140's, Mark V11'S to E types, Sovereigns, to XJS's and even two rare SS Models.

I was fortunate enough to be invited into his world recently. He has this vast showroom where all keeps all of his cars. There on public view but its not often you'll get the opportunity to be shown round by him. Age hasn't effected  drive as he continues to restore them as we speak.

After the tour of the showroom, Ken invited me into his home to view the other side of this avid collectors world. I couldn't quite believe I was seeing. He showed me to this room, protected by his dog, joking, completely full of of Jaguar memorabilia. Amazing! Models, brochures, manuals, key rings, the list went on and on. I didn't know where to look. I was lost for words

A massive thank you Ken. Respect.....
