    Auction description:
    Lot No: 484
    1968 Jaguar Mk2 3.4-Litre Saloon
    Chassis no. 178942DN
    Engine no. KH8147-8

    A desirable manual/overdrive-equipped example, this left-hand drive 3.4-litre Mk2 was purchased new in Switzerland by a Swiss diplomat, who kept the car until 1966 before selling it to the current vendor's father. The Jaguar remained in Switzerland until the current owner exported it to Italy in 2002, since when it has resided the southern part of that country. Restored circa 2006, the car is described by the vendor as in generally good condition (with very good upholstery), though in need of some cosmetic refreshment of the body, paintwork and interior wood. Offered with Italian libretto.

    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?
