Claims to be an XKE FHC wreck. Right.
Somebodies abandoned or mid restoration project. No door, glass, and of all things, an earlier-than-1949 Flathead Ford block laying on the pavement in front of it. Oil filler tube from later flathead sticking up of probably a later intake bolted to the block.

Then there is this horrible damage to a poor unsuspecting traffic light:

I had to scroll a couple of pictures forward before I got the point of the hay bales.

Apparently at a car show and the hay was trying to present it as a 'Barn Find'. Right. Every neglected or abandoned project is suddenly declared a Barn Find. A couple of cow pies or road apples would complete the scene nicely.

I'm not sure what you're seeing. Those links go to one photo each. You can scroll up and down from there to other photos, but the first one is a S2 FHC with a hay bale, no door or glass...flathead Ford block laying in front of it.
Second is a bit later Jag FHC, black or dark blue, appears to have been drinking, trying to hold itself up with a stoplight pole.

Yes, a 2+2 (note the position of the leading edge of the windscreen). Based on the license plates and backgrounds in the photos it appears to be a car show in Fladungen (northeast of Frankfurt).

And the caption that says:
"Fladungen Classics Germany 04/07/10 Jaguar E-type S2 FHC Wreck"
