    Info gathered with permission from:
    www.hendi.nl/xke/main.htm

    850014 is said to have been raced by Briggs Cunningham. It was reported to be located in England in the mid-eighties and was reported to have black license-plate lights. In 1991, it was reported to be undergoing restoration.

    Car appears to be all decked out for racing. A photo in the November 2012 edition of The E-Type shows the car at the Goodwood Revival where it was said to have taken second place. Driven by John Young and Bobby Verdon-Roe.

    Feb. 2001 Jaguar World states the car was Fields Engineering raced by Briggs Cunningham, then owned by Clifford Godfrey under restoration by Hall & Fowler.

    What appears almost certain and missing from the narrative is that this car would have been the "demonstrator" belonging to Fields of Crawley (a.k.a. Fields Engineering Company (Crawley) Ltd.), the Jaguar dealer in Crawley, Sussex at that time.

    I owned this E Type in 1983 and it was red and in a very poor condition if fact I still have the workshop manual that came with the car with information still in the front of the manual relating to the car.

    Engine No. R.1051-9 Chassis No. 850014 & Body No. R.1041

    I would love to see it now. I now own a 1969 2+2 at the moment being restored.

    that Jaguar E Type had been “built as a replica by John Young, who had sub-contracted the work to Nigel Morris

    that car is in the TUKE / Dereck HOOD (JD Classic) High court judgement

    Chassis 850014 had not been a competition car, but rather a “Priority List” car.

    "obvious that the E-Type Lightweight is a replica”. In summary, the build features of the body shell were neither original nor period. The chassis number had the wrong typeface and placement. The chassis plate was in the wrong type and not original. The gearbox was completely the wrong type. The engine was a lightweight replica engine made from aluminium, rather than cast iron, and was a different shape to a period engine. The carburettors were obviously not period either."

    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?
