Since ownership have replaced carpeting, redone all leather and wood interior trim, added Pertronix ignition and coil, driving lights, radio, speakers, center rear brake, heater core, heater fan, and corrected many shortcomings. This car is as new mechanically from the radiator through the differential, to include brakes, fuel pump and tank, shocks, etc. Brake cylinders stainless steel sleeved, and the clutch slave recently brass sleeved by Apple Hydraulics.

This car originally titled in Gary, Ind., and previously owned by David Grender-Jones, now deceased, of Chicago. He had major mechanical restoration done at Classic Jaguar, Austin, probably late '90s or early this century. Sold to current owner on eBay in October, 2005. Car fitted with wire wheel, Avon tires, and JT5 gear box. Recently added Pertronix electronic ignition and extensive work throughout car, including wood refinishing, carpet kit, and leather replacement and restoration. Fewer than 60,000 miles. Runs like stink.

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?
