Car offered at:

www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/jaguar/unspecified/2570316.html

Auction description:

Location: Auburn, Indiana 46706

Stock #: Lot #15

Exterior: Black/Tan

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Opulence in open-air driving

Ready for show or touring

Outstanding color combination; laser-straight body work

Well-appointed with period-correct accessories

3,442cc DOHC inline six-cylinder engine, dual SU carburetors, 190 HP at 5,750 RPM, four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension with torsion bars, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs; four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes; wheelbase: 102”

Coming to the Sipko Collection in 1993, this beautiful roadster is the epitome of what a gentleman’s sports car should be. While solid and complete upon acquisition, it would undergo a thorough restoration. All the body panels were stripped, and it was found most of the lower body side panels were in need of repair. Roger Hirko, the caretaker of Mr. Sipko’s collection, leveraged his superb skills in replacing needed metal and applied the striking black finish to the car. The original numbers matching engine and gearbox were sent to Pruitt Restorations where they completed a sympathetic rebuild and also used their skills in installing the refurbished interior in high-grade tan leather as well as installing a matching tan canvas soft top. A set of period-correct Lucas driving lights have been installed and that magnificent dashboard was restored, and all gauges made ready to monitor the operations of this splendid machine. A new set of knock-off chrome wire wheels were acquired to complete the package and this impressive open two-seat roadster was ready for the road. Since its restoration, this vintage Jaguar has had a number of chances to flex its muscles and pounce on the competition, at least on the show field, with its latest showing in October 2021. Early history of this car has not been verified, though it is believed to have been sold new in the New York area. According to Roger Hirko, caretaker of the collection for many years, this was one of Mr. Sipko’s favorite sports cars in the collection, one that he had found, brought home, and in true enthusiast fashion, worked diligently on its restoration. Restored to be high quality but also a dependable driver, it can bring home ribbons or trophies, but more importantly, miles of smiles from its exhilarating performance, good looks, and ease of operation on spirited open road expeditions.

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?
