    cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jaguar-E-Type-4-2-Series-I-Black-plate-matching-numbers- ...
    Opening bid $15,000 reserve not met, no bids yet, 6 days left in auction.

    Sellers description:
    1965 Jaguar E Type 4.2 Series I Coupe in Burgundy with a Black interior. Black Plate California car believed to be one owner with registrations going back to 1970. Matching #'s engine and cylinder head. Superb mechanically. Not smokey or noisy top end or timing chain. Great gearbox, good symchros. Good clutch - very strong driving car. Good straight body. Nice underside. Color changed many years ago and now has older cheap paint on it. Weak chrome - but this is a solid matching #'s, Black Plate, 4.2 Series I Coupe - a rare beast - an easy restoration or a great driver. Much rarer than a Roadster and a much purer design for a smaller investment. This is a car for a knowledgeable buyer.

    I bought this car from CF in 2008/9 and have virtually completed a full restoration on it - it now has numerous Eagle upgrades including a full Eagle Sport engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes - now in the desirable colour combination of Gunmetal grey with Jaguar red interior!
    For sale very soon.

    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?
