Oh, me. I feel for you. Sad news indeed.
And, if no one was hurt or worse, that is the big thing.
1. I suppose no insurance on the Jaguar.
2. No cover for cars under HO or similar insurance.
3. But, I hope your HO does well by you for the structure.
4. The curiosity from my former profession inquires as to the "cause and origin" of the conflagration!!

Fire started at the other end of the garage. Cause unknown. Fire Chief calls it "electrical, unknown" . Everything was OK in the garage at 1:30 AM. At 3 AM it all went up in flames. It was pretty dramatic. one other car was in the garage and it looks a lot worse than the jag. It also took out my travel trailer parked next to the garage. And the house is definitely worse for wear. We are not living in the house at this time, some 5 weeks after the fire.

I did it with an E-type plus the garage. USAA treated me well and I bought the crispy critter back for $75.00. Then sold the engine, hood, rear axle and wheels. My fire was started by electric fuel pump replacement. Fire in the truck is bad news in the E-Type because that's also where the gas tank is. Went on to buy another E-type and later a couple of XJ's. Finally retired, swore off of Jaguar's, and now I own an XJS! Which I consider the most esthically pleasing car on the road
