Car to be at auction 3/11
www.coys.co.uk/auction.php

Auction description:
Lot 314 - 1969 Jaguar E-Type Project
Estimate: £12,000 - £16,000
Registration Number: 77 JGH
Chassis Number: 1R20121

This right hand drive E-Type was purchased by the vendor in 2006 and has been lovingly restored by its owner over the last 4-5 years. Some work is required to complete the car but the major work has been completed including an engine rebuild in 2009 with bills and invoices supplied covering the purchase of components and sundry parts.

Supplied with a V5 registration document, a photographic record of the restoration work so far, and a large file of bills and receipts, this E-type is the perfect project, rewarding in both senses of the word, needing some finishing to bring it back to its former glory. The valuable registration number 77 JGH is also included in the sale.

Car to return to auction 6/14
www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2014-06-07/car/1969-jaguar-e-type-series-i-f ...

Auction description:
1969 Jaguar E-Type Series I Fixedhead Coupé
Registration 77JGH
Chassis Number 1R20121
Engine Number 7R2974-9
Odometer reading 610 miles
Estimate £72,000 - £78,000
In 2006, this original righthand drive 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II coupé was purchased by a friend of the vendor as a restoration project from eBay. He stripped the car down and set about a complete ground-up rebuild around a restored Series I fixedhead coupé body shell. During his ownership, the engine was sent to a Jaguar specialist in Essex where it was completely rebuilt with chrome con rods, lightened and balanced crankshaft and fly wheel, the cylinder head overhauled with polished valves and ports and triple Weber carburettors fitted. The vendor believes that the engine has also been bored out, increasing the size from the original 4.2 litres. The engine components used were supplied by Rob Beere Racing including a 'fast-road camshaft'. When the vendor purchased the car from his friend in 2011, it had been painted inside and out in green, he had also fitted a fully re-conditioned rear axle, a new engine cradle, a new wiring loom and rebuilt the front suspension and brakes at a cost of £37,000. When the current owner collected the car, he took it to Jaguar specialists, Southern Classics. Steve Berry, owner of Southern Classics, a renowned Jaguar expert and perfectionist, checked over the car and found a number of items which he felt were not to his standard, so he and his team stripped the car down, removed the paint from the outside and set about rebuilding it to concours condition. This included new welding along the rear wings, making sure that all the panels fitted correctly and mounting a Series I dashboard to the car. After painting, it was sent to Trimcentre in Birmingham to have a new Series I interior fitted; it was then returned to Southern Classics for final fitting and finishing. Before final delivery, the car went to Webcon (Weber) where it was tuned on the rolling road by Alan Collins, their Chef Engineer. This stunning example is supplied with a V5C registration document; a MoT test certificate which expires in August 2014; a box file containing invoices for the parts used going back to 2006; a photographic record of both restorations and copies of the registration documents going back to the first owner showing that the registration number 77 JGH has always been assigned to this car. This stunning E-Type fixedhead coupé which cost nearly £90,000 to restore, has the iconic styling of the Series I but has all the benefits of the later Series II mechanics.

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?
