Car to be at auction, Padova, Italy 10/09
www.coys.co.uk/auctions/lot.php

Auction description:
1963 Jaguar E-Type Fixedhead Coupé
Lot 133

Registration Number: EU registered Chassis Number: 888028

This is an exceptional example of the early fixed-head coupe, considered by many to be the purest of the form.

An original left-hand-drive car that was first registered to Jaguar Cars Limited with the works Coventry registration number 4829 WK, it is one of the most distinctive 3.8 Litre E-Types we have offered in some time.

Although Italian-owned since the early 1960s, the car remained for much of its early life in Coventry through into the 1970s, prior to being purchased some 30 years ago by the current owner. The car boasts an exquisite restoration to the highest standards, and also is equipped with beautiful period Jaguar luggage and a set of tools and one of the most charming period accessories imaginable – a period fitment vinyl record player installed in the car. Absolutely charming!

The car is offered with various sundry documentation and the original British buff log book, clearly showing the car’s original registration to Jaguar themselves, and is being issued with the works number plate.

Benché di proprietà italiana dai primi anni ‘60, quest‘auto è rimasta a Coventry fino agli anni ‘70, prima di essere acquistata dall‘attuale proprietario circa 30 anni fa. La vettura può vantare un restauro di squisita esecuzione ai massimi livelli ed è dotata di bagaglio Jaguar e set di attrezzi, accessori così affascinanti, come il mangiadischi installato dell‘epoca!

L‘automobile è offerta corredata di documentazione varia e l‘originale libretto in camoscio, su cui si può trovare la prima registrazione a nome della Jaguar stessa, e anche delle targhe originali dell‘officina.

Estimate: €50000 - €60000

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?
