    Listed for sale at www.grautogallery.com. " We are pleased to present this multiple national concours winner 1962 Jaguar E-Type OTS roadster. This is a numbers matching highly original E-Type that has been restored to a very high standard and has been meticulously maintained under its current ownership for over 20 years. The car was acquired by its current owner in 1992 as a running, driving, rust free original and complete example. Upon acquisition, a two year, no expense spared, high quality restoration was performed using only original or NOS parts. Some of the best in the business were used during the restoration process which included complete disassembly, strip to bare metal and refinish in British Racing Green exterior paint over a complete Bartlett biscuit Connolly leather interior, Wilton carpets with a new biscuit mohair convertible top. The original factory hard top was also restored at this time. The countless hours and money invested during the restoration process would not be all for naught as it was awarded Best in Class - Meadowbrook Concours d'Elegance in 1994, first place Driven Class Michigan JCNA - 1997 and Best in Class - Bay Harbor Concours d'Elegance - 2002. Since, the car has been cared for, driven and enjoyed between 300-500 miles every year during the summer months and routinely serviced by renown "Time Machines Unlimited" in Charlevoix, MI. During the restoration, and over the years, the car has been upgraded for performance and safety including: new 5" x 15" Dayton Wire Wheels, Dunlop SP radial tires and tubes, high capacity aluminum radiator and cooling fan, "High Torque" gear reduction starter, stainless steel exhaust, cartridge style oil filter adapter, Pertronix ignition and coil, complete front and rear suspension disassembly and rebuild, front and rear shocks, 15" diameter steering wheel, Lucas PL700 headlamps and period correct front seat belts. Mechanically, drive this Jag with confidence. It is fully sorted and reliable and hands down one of the best driving E-Types that we have ever been involved with. Even 20 years since the restoration the entire presentation of this 1962 Jaguar E-Type roadster, although not absolutely flawless, remains stunning and crisp. It will grab attention at any event or venue. The early 3.8 liter Series 1 Jaguars are the most definitive example of the model and the most desirable. A car with this history, pedigree and mechanical fitness does not come for sale very often. The car is turn-key and ready for immediate use. Documentation includes: Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, the original (matching numbers) factory vehicle commission plate, original and complete tool roll with original hammer, drivers handbook, factory service manuals, and a complete binder containing restoration, concours and service history of the vehicle since it's acquisition in 1992." Asking $124,900. Listing has over 100 photos and a four+ minute video.

    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?
