Owner: Mike Collyer

I live in the UK and am currently doing a rolling restoration on my 1971 Jaguar XKE Series 2 FHC. I am looking for any history on this car as it was purchased in October 1986 from a dealer in Denver, Colorado. Please email me if you have any information on this car's history. Thanks.

Sellers description:
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and rare rust free example of this southern California 1971 Jaguar XKE E-Type Series II Fixed Head Coupe with it's original matching number 6 cylinder 4.2L/246HP engine in original 'Cream' color paint with a black interior and with five original winged chrome wire 'knock off' wheels, mallet, service manual, jack, original 'Federal US Safety Mandated' hex nut knock offs and its 'Jaguar Heritage Certificate' confirming its originality!

The car is reported to have only some 99K original miles by its previous owner and the car is a great unrestored 'barn find' virtually all stock example of a great daily driving rust free and very rare 2 door fixed head coupe! The floor boards and all the typical rust-prone areas are solid and rust-free and the car has no signs of any accidents with a very straight body with only some very minor dents and dings. It's original 'Cream' color paint is in very fair condition, but certainly with some imperfections, and although the car looks extremely impressive with an original black interior which is complete and mostly all original with the door panels, headliner, dashboard and carpets all in very good condition, the car should probably be best considered as a great driving project needing restoration for an enthusiast. The car has chrome wire 'knock-off' wheels and it's original spare wheel and jack located in the trunk.

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?
