Car was stored for many years and had minor floor rust and surface rust due to poor storage facilities. Previuos owner had a quality bare metal repaint to the exterior but didn't attend to the interior or engine bay. These areas are now being restored and the final imaculate car will be back on the road late 2003. Full restoration details and photos can be found on the web at etypejag.jaguar-register.com (just add http:// in front of address)

Comments from the above supplied address:
My E-Type is an original Australian delivered Coupe that was manufactured in February 1972. It is number 1,148 of 2,116 right hand drive series III V12 Coupes built. Only 114 of these cars were originally imported into Australia by Leyland, which makes it a very rare vehicle in Australia. It is not known how many of the original 114 still exist.

Following an extensive bare metal restoration the car was entered in the Concourse d’Etat at the 2004 Australian National Jaguar Rally in Canberra, where it came away with a Silver Award. With more attention to some minor areas it will be more than capable of receiving Gold awards in the future.

Restoration was completed in early 2004 and the vehicle is now used for Jaguar club events and cruising on sunny weekends. The full restoration story of this vehicle, and more information on series III E-Type Jaguars can be found on the owners comprehensive web site at www.etypejag.jaguar-register.com

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?
