In keeping with Bonhams traditions of finding the best and most interesting motorcars for sale, we are pleased to present here an E-Type which has remained in its same family ownership from new. What's more, it is an early version, dating from just after the refinement of external bonnet/hood locks to inboard catches, but retaining many of the preferred early features of these cars, including the metal central console.

Back in 1962, it was ordered by a physician couple in Maryland when it was used as their daily transport, in fact the car is reported to have always remained in its same home base town! Through high days and holidays and all seasons the sporty Jaguar was enjoyed, after some 30 years of use the car was given a 'birthday' and received a repaint and retrim in its original color scheme as seen here, but from then its use was more modest and the E-Type was consigned to storage in 1994.

It has recently emerged from this hibernation and in preparation for the sale has undergone thorough recommissioning to return it to the road. This work has included flushing of the fuel system, a new electric fuel pump fitted, carburetors rebuilt, new generator installed, new battery, cooling system flushed, and new hoses fitted, review of the braking system with new fluids, new front calipers, new front and rear brake hoses installed as well as new brake and clutch master cylinders. During this process the gearbox number was checked and found not to match the car, but chassis, engine and body do tally. All four tires have also been replaced. The car is now reported to be fully operational, and as viewed today, its cosmetics are clean but clearly have aged a little since their redo.

As the Jaguar continues to go from strength to strength today, and also to look at its past, these cars a constant reminder of the simplicity, style and performance that we have associated with the brand for decades.

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?
