    Car to be at auction 11/24/12
    www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2012-11-24/car/1970-jaguar-e-type-series-ii- ...

    Auction description:
    248 - 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster
    Registration RUN254H
    Chassis Number 1R1655
    Engine Number 7R112099
    Odometer reading 10,450
    Estimate £50,000 - £60,000
    This righthand drive Series II 4.2L E-Type roadster has covered only 10,450 miles from new and is surely one of the most original E-Types available anywhere today. It was originally supplied by Braid Brothers in Colwyn Bay on 1st June 1970 and subsequently sold by Hurst Park Automobiles in July 1982 with a recorded mileage of an incredible 5,800. The original handbooks and warranty documents accompany the car and every MoT certificate is available substantiating the amazingly low mileage of this beautiful Jaguar. Finished in blue with grey leather, this E-Type is sure to attract serious investors; where would you find another one like it?

    Auction description:
    3 Dec 2012 14:00 GMT Weybridge, Mercedes-Benz World Brooklands
    Collectors Motor Cars
    lot number 368
    11,000 miles from new,1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster Chassis no. 1R1655 Engine no. 7R11209-9
    Estimate:
    £50,000 - 60,000
    €63,000 - 75,000
    US$ 80,000 - 95,000

    This Series 2 roadster was kept by its original owner Mr S Howard to 1977 when it was purchased by Mr William Chapman. In 1983 Mr Chapman sold the car to Mr Robert Glover, who a few years later was murdered by the IRA. His widow, Rhonda, retained the Jaguar, which was run and MoT'd every year. Correspondence and all expired MoT certificates on file confirm the recorded mileage of only 29,000.

    'RUN 254H' is said to drive like a new car and is exceptionally original in every respect, even down to its original paintwork and interior trim, the latter showing virtually no wear. Finished in blue with beige leather upholstery, this unmolested E-Type roadster is offered with sundry invoices, MoT to October 2013 and old-style Swansea V5 document.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    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?
