Beauty needs care and love ...

This is a story about an old 1950 Jaguar MK V which is dying a horrific death, found in backyard of an old man’s house in Pakistan. I was shocked to see this masterpiece in this condition and to listen that the owner is still not willing to sale it. The distinctive styling of Jaguar MK V followed prewar SS-Jaguar lines with upright chrome grille, but the grille of this abandoned MK V has become faded because of having no cover to protect it from moisture, dirt and heat. 
16-inch (410 mm) steel-disc type wheels of this MK V can easily be observed in these pictures, they did not touch road way from many decades. The story becomes sadder when we see its missing eyes. Obviously, I’m talking about the headlamps which can be available and replaced with some other car's because of their common round shape and specific size, but the owner seems not interested in giving this cat its eyes back and I think this car probably wouldn't be able to see again it's past glory days, when it was in running condition with having all of its jewels.

Inside the car you can see so many components are missing in dashboard and look even seats are not there inside the body shell. Steering wheel is also in very poor condition and covered with spider web. Well, I have no idea about the actual reason why he’s not selling his MK V, I thought that he might be a great Jaguar Lover, but if he is then why not even thinking about its restoration. Truly, this car can be back on road again with its prestigious look and can enchant may Jaguar car lovers like us. 

Finally I would like to request its owner (in case he reads my blog’s post) that please if you can’t restore this Jaguar MK V then please at least release its front grille nose from that blue rope piece because otherwise someday someone will try to pull it and the grille which is one of its last remaining jewels will also be broken.
