    Ebay item 9/17/04
    cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll
    Current bid $2,938.00 (Reserve not met), 3 bids, 6 days left in auction. Manual trans, 34k miles.

    Sellers description:
    Up for auction is my 1969 Jaguar 2+2 XKE. I am the 2nd owner since 2002. The original owner bought this vehicle new in 1969 from the Chicago Jaguar dealer. Let me start by saying the car was repainted approx 20 years ago to its current color of gunmetal grey. The original color was red. The current condition of the paint is near perfect...it could pass for its original paint from the factory...look at the pics. Secondly, I believe the rest of the car is in its original condition. The car has black leather seats, wire wheels, orig tool bag, orig miles with no rebuilt or redone engine, a/c compressor and fan runs...but not sure on how cold. I am selling the vehicle because it just does not get much use and a vintage vehicle like this should be taken out weekly. So, if you are a jaguar fan this is a fantastic model that not only looks beautiful but drives well.

    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?
