    Ebay item 11/1/15
    www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-E-Type-Roadster-/201459088561
    Current bid US $46,413.09 reserve not met 8 bids 9 days left in auction. Car now said to be in Austin, Texas. Seller classicjaguar, 10k miles.

    Sellers description:
    12 years and approximately 10,000 miles after undergoing a total restoration in the Classic Jaguar workshops, it is now time for this outstanding E Type to go to a new home!

    This car has just received a major mechanical update in the Team CJ workshops. Within the last 100 miles we have installed new Dunlop tires, new Koni shocks and springs, new uprated torsion bars, our latest specification vented brake conversion, new H4 headlamps, a new stainless steel CJ header system, a CJ K&N billet air filter kit, rebuilt the triple SU carbs and installed a state of the art Ignition 123 electronic distributor. This car is now in perfect mechanical condition and drives beautifully. This exceptional E Type features numerous performance and reliability upgrades, including a smooth shifting CJ5 five speed transmission (the original matching number four speed casing is included in the sale).

    Cosmetically the paint now shows several minor nicks and imperfections, and the bonnet has been repainted since the car was restored 12 years ago. That said, the paint still shows very nicely overall, and is what might be described as 'very high quality driver' standard. The interior and canvas convertible top show just the right amount of patina you might expect from 10,000 miles of gentle use, and remain in excellent condition.

    This matching numbers Classic Jaguar restoration is 100% rust free, cosmetically extremely presentable, and mechanically superb.

    A full photographic record of the restoration may be viewed on the Classic Jaguar website under the cars for sale section.

    This vehicle, which is owned by Classic Jaguar, is sold strictly 'as is, where is' with no warranty of any kind being offered. Clear, unencumbered title conveys to the new owner.

    12 years and approximately 9,000 miles have passed since we restored this beautiful E Type, and it is now time for her to go to a new home!

    This car has just received a major mechanical update in the Team CJ workshops. Within the last 100 miles we have have installed new Dunlop tires, new Koni shocks and springs, new uprated torsion bars, our latest specification vented brake conversion, new H4 headlamps, a new stainless steel CJ header system, a CJ K&N billet air filter kit, rebuilt the triple SU carbs and installed a state of the art Ignition 123 electronic distributor. This car is now in perfect mechanical condition and drives beautifully. This exceptional E Type features numerous performance and reliability upgrades, including a smooth shifting CJ5 five speed transmission (the original matching number four speed casing is included in the sale).

    Cosmetically the paint has picked up a few very minor nicks and imperfections since the car left CJ 12 years ago. That said, the paint still shows very nicely overall, and is certainly 'high quality driver' or perhaps 'local show' standard. As is almost always the case, the photos make the paint appear a little better than it actually is. The interior and canvas convertible top show just the right amount of patina you might expect from 9,000 miles of gentle use, and remain in excellent condition.


    This matching number CJ restoration is 100% rust free, cosmetically extremely presentable, and mechanically superb. I have used the car frequently over the last several months and it has been an absolutely joy to drive.

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
