Car to be at auction 7/22
www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-1967-jaguar-e-type-42-roadster/

Auction description:
1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster
No Reserve

Registration No: Un-Reg
Chassis No: 1E14226
MOT: None

Current family ownership since 1989 and previously resident in Thornton, Colorado
Fitted with a carburettor-fed Mazda Wankel Rotary engine whilst Stateside but comes with a correct-type (MK X) 4.2 litre XK DOHC unit
Accompanying paperwork includes the old State of Colorado Certificate of Title and UK C&E 386 duty paid form

Built during late 1966 to left-hand drive specification, chassis 1E14226 spent the first twenty-three years of its life in the USA. Registered to Joel T. Sheffield of Thornton, Colorado prior to entering the current family ownership in 1989, the Jaguar is proof that not all Americans adhere to the idea that ‘there is no replacement for displacement’. The E-Type’s original engine is thought to have suffered a catastrophic failure at some stage but instead of replacing it with another XK unit or a small block Chevy V8, a past owner installed a twin carburettor-fed Wankel Rotary powerplant. The conversion appears professional and extends to a more suitable rev counter and auxiliary gauges. Dry stored for much of the past thirty-three years, the two-seater is now in need of restoration and accompanied by a Jaguar 4.2 litre XK DOHC engine (from a MK X) should a new owner wish to return it to a more original specification. Better preserved than many of its UK contemporaries, chassis 1E142226 is accompanied by a C&E 386 import duty paid form, State of Colorado Certificate of Title and sundry paperwork.

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?
