    Car was at auction 10/11
    www.historics.co.uk/previous-auctions/22nd-october-2011/jaguar-xjc.aspx

    Auction description:
    Auction Date: 22 October 2011
    Lot 377 - 1977 Jaguar XJ6 Coupé
    Registration: UYR 447S
    Chassis Number: 2J-3255
    Engine Number: 51986
    Odometer reading: 51,000
    Estimate: £4,000-£6,000
    Hammer: Sold
    Plus Commission: £6,792

    Acquired through Jaguar specialist, Alan Collins of Maldon, by the vendor, it has been looked after by the same and so its integrity throughout can be relied upon. Presented in Old English White with a contrasting Navy Blue velour interior, this is very much reminiscent of the period in history that it was built in. Power comes from a 4.2 litre engine, through an automatic gearbox to the rear wheels. It has undergone a number of visits to reputed specialist, Alan Collins, as mentioned before but also JD Classics, another significant engineering and Jaguar restoration firm who investigated and rectified a misfire, carried out a light service and ensured all four windows were operating correctly. It also benefits from a new fuel tank and comes with a MoT test certificate expiring in March, 2012. Also included are the original owner's manual, Jaguar wallets and previous MoT test certificates attesting to the very low mileage recorded.

    Car was at auction again in 2012
    www.silverstoneauctions.com/1977-jaguar-xjc

    Auction description:
    The Spring Sale
    1977 Jaguar XJC
    Lot No.: 114

    Registration: UYR 447S
    Chassis Number: 2J-3255
    Engine Number: 51986
    CC: 4200cc
    Year of Manufacture: 1977
    Sold for (£): Unsold

    The car offered today is a superb example in the best colour scheme of Old English White paintwork with a Navy Blue velour interior. It has been the property of only a handful of owners, two of which were father and son and they have held the car between them from April 1982 to February 2010. There are thirteen MoT's in the history file from 41,051 miles in 1984 to 52,000 miles as shown today. In that time, the car has accrued a host of invoices, some notable ones from JD Classics in Maldon.

    Ultimately, this is a handsome car presented in excellent order throughout. Both the paint and the chrome are in exemplary condition, and the interior still looks new. Mechanically the car is reported to run and drive faultlessly with the automatic transmission delivering smooth and precise gear changes. This Lot is offered for sale with a fresh MoT test certificate.

    These are increasingly sought-after motorcars and Silverstone Auctions are proud to have had recent success with other examples of its type, one of which securing £19,800 making 'UYR 447S' incredibly good value today...

    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?
