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.
 
First pic, not necessary a Jag, but looks like a normal Camden NJ picture with junk all over the place!:highly_amused:
 
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"
