    The translation of Paul's post (dd 9/22, 2006) might read as follows:
    The car presented is a Fixed Head Coupe of 1952, OEW, with red leather trim which was remade at the time of the car's restoration. This elegant Coupe was bought by the PO in March 1980 in Concours state; its current owner acquired it in November 1998 and did enter in many historical rallys. The car profited from a followed maintenance (invoices); it was entirely revised in June 2003, the master cylinder is new and an electric fan improves cooling. It is a pretty car, eligible for the Tour of France, the Miles Miles, Liege-Rome-Liege and many other historical rallyes.

    French title

    This Jaguar XK 120 coupe FHC was factory released on March 7th 1952, it was delivered new by the Jaguar Hoffman dealership in New York, on March 14, 1952. It was originally painted in Pastel Green with Suede Green interior trim. Since then, it was repainted in white and its green upholstery was swapped for red, underlined by black spoke rims. Recently, the electric equipment was completely redone, including a change of the alternator. The exhaust and the tires are recent, the Moss gearbox is in good condition. Maintenance invoices accumulated for 6 years by the current owner will be provided to the buyer. It is therefore an elegant but sporty coupe XK120 that we present today for sale.

    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?
