Ebay item 5/19/16
www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-E-Type-Coupe-/252394686358
Car has a buy it now price of $79,900 for 20 days, seller mbrandonmotorcars, 112k miles.

Sellers description:
Finished in the beautiful combination of Silver exterior over Black interior, this "Series II" E-Type, with its 4.2 liter inline 6 cylinder engine, is a lovely example of an original and unrestored E-Type that can be driven and enjoyed.

But, what makes this car even more special is that it had a single owner from 1970 through 2014, almost its entire existence! Yes, you read that correctly; the person who owned this car for 44 years purchased it new in Sacramento, CA in February 1970. He was an airline pilot who obviously cared for this car tremendously and took the utmost care of it. In 2014, it traded hands to another California owner, and in 2015 the current owner purchased the car, where it has resided as part of a large collection in Houston, TX. This owner has now consigned the car through my dealership for sale.

I have personally driven this car, and you can really tell whether a car has never been "taken apart and put back together". From the feel when you shut the door, to the smoothness of the engine, to the feel of the shifter, to the way the car drives down the road, it's obvious that this car is a true time-warp survivor. The odometer shows 12,058 miles, but it has turned over, so the correct mileage is believed to be 112,058 miles, which is also supported by the service history and receipts.

The floors, sills, boot floor, "picture frame", and all stampings are original. As are the wheels and spare, and the jack is correctly date coded. The paint is an older repaint, but still showing very presentably. And, the interior has a slight but entirely acceptable patina, exactly what you would expect to see in such an original and unmolested car. Mechanically, the car is completely up to date on service and needs nothing.

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?
