    True Greats, Coys (4th December 2007)
    1954 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe
    Originally delivered to Great Britain but latterly taken to the south of France by the vendor, this XK120 enjoyed a cosseted existence right through to 2002 when it underwent a full bare metal re-spray to its original colour of red (the accompanying images are of a similar vehicle.) Further restoration work took place in 2006 with a comprehensive reworking of the braking system, as well as all wood being refurbished and varnished. More recently, the biscuit interior trim and black convertible top have also been replaced; all work was carried out by JD Joseph, a specialist in this field.

    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?
