Calling ERC 522C....

[Stuart Exelby]

Hi - does anyone know this car please - RHD FHC - there is a genuine reason for asking.... :)

[Alty Ian]

Not on XKE data.

[mgcjag]

It has an mot......try mot checket

[Stuart Exelby]

Sorry, guys, should have said, have checked DVLA and MoT data and it is still said to be alive.... and checked XKE-Data too and could not find anything...... Thanks though.....

[mgcjag]

Come on Stuart....youve wetted our apetite now...whats happened, did you scrape it in a car park

[Stuart Exelby]

It's also showing as insured, too...... Must be out there somewhere.....?

[Stuart Exelby]

Steve - no nothing as exciting as scraped in the car park - that'd be a legitimate reason to ask DVLA for the owner's details! - it's just that the original service document has turned up on e-bay with the maintenance vouchers - and while I'd like to buy it (my car hasn't got either), I'd be disappointed if mine turned up and no-one alerted me...... hence the interest in finding the owner in case he (or she) hasn't spotted it.

Seller also lists the Running-in and RAC application and the JDC prospectus and application - neither of which are particular to that car - so I will probably bid on those - so hopefully won't be bidding against anyone else on here! Will probably leave the other (ERC22C specific stuff) - so if anyone else is interested........

I see the buyer paid ?605 for these items:

* Original Jaguar Operating, Maintenance & Service Handbook.

* Original Jaguar Sales & Service Facilities in he United Kingdom

* Original Jaguar 4.2 E Type Periodic Maintenance Voucher Booklet with Servicing stamped by a Derby Garage up to 12,000 miles as at November 1965

* Original Jaguar Cars Pre Delivery Inspection Sheet - Unused

* Original Jaguar Owner's Service Policy signed & stating date of delivery of 4.2 E Type as being 26th February 1965.

* Original Jaguar Brown Plastic Service Book Wallet - see photograph

Only 2 of of the items seem to be specific to the particular car.

Just seems such a shame that they were probably not re-united with the present owner.

Also sold was;

Original S1 4.2 maintenance chart

Original Running in RAC booklet and post paid envelope

Original RAC running in sticker

Original JDC booklet

Original Tax disc holder

Original bag for disc holder

All for the same car, ie a complete and original S1 4.2 owners pack for a Feb 1965 E type.

From what I've seen recently on E bay, there seems to be a growing interest in Jaguar memorabilia with seemingly mundane documents commanding high sale prices
There is currently a 60s Jaguar Compliments Slip on its own with a bid of ?111 and time to run. There is also a document wallet on its own for ?149. So while initially ?605 seems a lot, if a dealer bought these and split them up he would probably make a tidy profit. Let's hope that's not the case though.

Did anyone ever trace the owner of the E type that the above items relate to?

Folks - yes I let the main lot go - I agree it's a shame it probably hasn't been reunited with the car. I did bid on the other two - the Running In/RAC items and JDC prospectus - but baulked at the eventual price. I'm looking at another JDC prospectus at the moment - I'd like to have the set as it would have been given to the first owner if I can....... but prices are a bit too rich for me - ever the bargain-hunter!
