To the left of the first “old Jag” picture you can see a yellow Jag XKE V12 roadster - wouldn’t mind owning that. I had two XKEs many decades ago.

Great job on the photography, James! I, too, am a dedicated follower of the series and could recognize some of the cars they featured on the shows. I'm glad you captured some of the "works in progress" as well as restored vehicles.

Wow James...it took me back to my childhood days when I would visit our local Chevy Garage Repair center in my little town with my Dad to get our 36 panel truck fixed....what a fabulous place. Lucky you !!!

This is a neat place, James. I really enjoyed your well executed tour!

Excellent series, James, I would love to have the 1960 Chevy Impala and the Jaguar XKE.

Thanks everyone. Some really great comments that I enjoyed very much. Mike Wolfe has invested a lot around Columbia TN. He also has a bicycle shop (which we drove past). He has a nice vacation guest house you can rent decorated with some of his finer picks. If any of you watch the RFD channel, they have a program called "Muletown in the Round" which features some of country music's greatest songwriters, songs and stories. Shot at Mary Jo's Muletown Cafe just a block north of Mefford Motors. Columbia is known as "Muletown" because during WWI mules were raise here for the war effort. Ever since they host what's called Mule Days where they feature several days of mule related activities. I hope to get back to Columbia some day. The city is full of neat things to see and photograph. I'm going to close with another big "Thanks" to all of you...and to Mike Mefford. I'm posting this parting shot I took of him (on the right) and his assistant. See ya next time folks....

Great set of car shots. Sad for a Jag guy like me to see the Mark IV (?) in such a sad state. Thanks for posting these.
Yeah I know, but at least it's no longer decaying out in some field. They will restore it as best they can here at this garage. Thanks for looking in.

I’d like to see that Studebaker when it’s finished. I love those early 50s sleek Studebakers.

Great set James. Lucky you to get to tour Mefford Motors. American Pickers is one of my favorite shows.

Here’s a Mark IV Jag in slightly better condition. The out-of-focus Jag in the background is an XK220.
