    For sale at Le Riche Automobile of Trinity, Jersey for £135,000. Abbreviated and amended seller's description below.

    www.leriche.com/cars/jaguar-e-type-s1-4-2-roadster

    A smart and desirable 4.2 E Type Roadster, bristling with upgrades making for a great driving example of this classic British sportscar. Whilst there is little early history we do have the Heritage Trust certificate and paperwork from 1989 onwards. The extensive works carried out by the current owner are supported by invoices and associated documentation. The car is Jersey registered and the local 4 digit number is included, if remaining in Jersey. The original UK registration mark, GJW627C, is held on retention, should the car return to the UK mainland.

    The earlier body restoration of the 1990s remains in good condition and is in good order. The body chassis was Waxoyled throughout as part of the 2011 mechanical renovation. A new black mohair roof has been fitted and the associated framework refurbished. The interior is in good condition, with the leather showing a little patination as befits its age. The dash is fully functional and has a modern CD radio unit.

    This car has had a lot of extra mechanical work in addition to a standard spec renovation with cylinder head rebuild with fast road cam, flywheel lightened and balanced, Bell big bore stainless steel exhaust and manifold fitted, uprated air filter, electronic fuel pump, high torque starter motor, aluminium radiator and header tank, Kenlowe electric fan and silicone hoses fitted.

    The car is fitted with Coopercraft uprated brake callipers with a twin servo, uprated torsion bars and tie plate. AVO shock absorbers, an uprated anti roll bar, solid steering mounts, and wider Avon R15 CR6 ZZ tyres suitable for track use. These upgrades work well together to produce an excellent driving vehicle.

    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?
