For sale at Graeme Hunt Fine and Historic Cars of London for £395,000. Seller's description below.

www.graemehunt.com/inventory/741/1973-jaguar-e-type-coombes-tribute

Coombes tribute, blow your socks off fast! Through Jaguar's storied history, few tales are as exhilarating as that of the competition E Types, the first of these, chassis S860006, delivered to the Coombes Racing Team. This car became the basis of a further 17 competition cars. Showing its importance, that is what our car is a tribute to. The registration number is even appropriate, chassis S850006 is 4WPD and ours is 9WPD.

The car's underpinnings are a UK supplied 1973 Series III. Now of course something completely different. Now with an aluminium bonnet, fitted with extended louvres for enhanced cooling, under the bonnet a monster 6.1 litre V12 4 cam engine, aero features, updated interior for comfort; the immense power from the 6.1 litre engine mated to a 5 speed Getrag gearbox, allowing its considerable power to be delivered with grace and efficiency.

Driving this car, you can feel its power unlike with most road cars. The precision of its gearbox, the responsiveness of the engine, and aerodynamic enhancements all work in concert to create a drive that is thrilling, smooth and controlled. The exhausts or trumpets omit a growl so magnificent, you hear it before you see it. A sound as you would want it to be, heavenly.

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?
