Car to be at auction 10/18
www.barons-auctions.com/view-lot/2650/for-sale-at-barons-auctions-1970-jaguar-42 ...

Auction description:
Autumn Classic - 20th Anniversary: 27 Oct 2018 Sandown Park Race Course
1970 Jaguar 420G
Guide Price: £5,500 to £7,500
Manufacturer: Jaguar
First Registered: 1970
Model: 420G
Registration No: UAD 828H
Mileometer: 79,000
Chassis No: GID 57785 BW
MOT: Not Required
Colour: Opalescent Dark Grey over Golden Sand

This is one of the very last Jaguar 420Gs to be built, and is in Opalescent Dark Grey over Golden Sand, with Tan Leather interior. The car was only used between 1970 and 1979, DVLA records show that it has not been taxed since July 1979. We are told that the car has been dry stored ever since, and that the recorded mileage is correct. The car is said to be totally rust free, and was undergoing re-commissioning when the owner died. The car runs very well and is in very good condition, but needs a few small jobs doing to get the car completed. It is said that all the parts needed to finish the re-commissioning are present including the original toolbox. There is a fair amount of history that the vendor is hoping will come with the car, but it is currently in probate so can't be guaranteed.

Jaguar MK 10s and 420Gs are now quite sought after and good ones are very scarce. This very late car with an unusual back story, represents very good value for money.

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?
