Can anyone tell me what an original series 1 lubrication chart dated 3/61 is worth? I sold my flat floor roadster 20 years ago and found this chart when moving.
The other documents are for a Series 1.5 early 1968 build. Would also be interested in values for those materials.
Thanks.

Put it on ebay and let the market decide its value. .....Steve

The 3/61 Lube Chart for the Series 1 E-type is quite rare. I've trolled Ebay for Jaguar parts as a hobby for many years and would guess I've see perhaps three (two as part of operating manuals).
- I recall seeing only one 3/61 lube chart offered on Ebay in many years.
I would not be surprised to see a chart like yours, if it's in reasonable condition, sell for $300 - $500.

Here is what appears to have happened. The vendor of the 3/61 lube chart originally listed on Ebay with a starting bid of $450 read my Forum comment about the rarity of these early charts and my assessed value of $300--$500. He immediately cancelled is Ebay listing and relisted the same chart with a Buy It Now price of $999.

Good luck to him. I think he’ll need it.

Even better - I agreed a sale outside ebay with him, when he still asked 449,- as starting price. I paid, he cancelled the auction but money came back the next day. No explanation, no response on my enquiry, nothing.
Condition is anyhow not the best. So I am not that sad....
