    Car was at auction 3/17
    www.bonhams.com/auctions/24118/lot/45/

    Auction description:
    Lot 45
    1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster
    Sold for £72,060 (US$ 89,324) inc. premium
    Goodwood Members' Meeting
    19 Mar 2017, 14:00 GMT
    Chichester, Goodwood
    Registration no. TKG 78H
    Chassis no. 1R 1571
    *Two owners
    *Present ownership since 1984
    *Circa 52,000 miles from new
    *Fastidiously maintained
    *Exceptional history file

    This E-Type Series 2 Roadster had had only two owners from new. The car was delivered in 1970 to surgeon Mr T D H Gray of Birkenhead, who kept it until it was sold to the lady vendor's late husband in July 1984. The recorded mileage when purchased was 34,500 and is now 52,000. 'TKG 78H' has been fastidiously cared for, always kept in a heated garage, and never driven in the rain.

    Sitting on newly refurbished wire wheels shod with nearly new tyres, the E-Type runs well, displaying good oil pressure; some body panels have been replaced in the past, and the car presents well. The history file is quite exceptional, containing every maintenance bill from 1984 to the present day, and MoT certificates dating back to 1982. Very rarely does a low-mileage, few-owners E-Type Roadster appear on the open market, making this exceptional example an opportunity not to be missed.

    Sold by Camberly Marine and Sports Cars of Fleet in September 1970. Seller's description below.
    www.cms-gb.com/jaguartypes2

    1970 E Type S2 4.2 Roadster. This is an original UK RHD numbers matching example finished in its original colour combination of Signal Red with black leather interior, a black mohair hood, chrome wire wheels and manual transmission. This superb E Type has had only three owners from new, showing 54,000 miles with lots of history and old MoTs. If you are looking for a genuine, unmolested correct E Type that has led a sheltered life this car will definately be for you.

    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?
