The Series 3 2+2 is a restoration project. I imported it to Australia from the U.S East Coast in early 2016. I've converted it to RHD. Right now the project is 95% complete, with the next step obtaining a compliance plate for Australian registration.

Auction description:

1972 Jaguar E Type Series 3

Year: 1972

Make: Jaguar

Model: E Type

Series: 3

Body: 2-Door Coupe

Steering: Left Hand Drive

Drive Type: Rear wheel drive

Odometer: Indicating 3,770 Kilometers

Engine: 12-Cylinder Petrol

Transmission: 5-Speed Manual

Colour: Silver

Seats: 2

Description/extras: Imported from the US in 2016, the car was largely original and found to have zero rust partly attributable to rustproofing 'Zeibart' treatment when new, but also not being driven in salty conditions. A full but and bolt restoration was undertaken, with the body stripped for a bare metal respray in factory original colour Silver, with the interior reupholstered in factory original colour dark blue. The car was converted to RHD using OEM parts and aftermarket aircon fitted. The restoration approach was not to create a concourse vehicle but rather one with an authentic appearance yet practical to drive. It has a new Tremec 5 speed manual box as opposed to to the original under geared 4 speed, a high output alternator, hi torque starter, modern radio and speakers with a classic appearance. Importantly the numbers original V12 has been completely and expertly rebuilt, maintaining the original quad strombergs, but fitted with electronic ignition.

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?
