Was this the Jaguar E-Type OTS Deal of the Century? OR.....

PHOTO REMARKABLECARS.COM

This appears to be a case where a rare (Jaguar E-Type) Cat for some unknown reason went to the dogs. The above Jaguar E-Type Chassis # 876397 "Flatfloor" is purported or claimed to have 7,400 miles from new. (OMG! What a miracle!).

We decide to investigate and do some simple sleuth work using Google.

Our first stop takes us back in time to 2008 to the Barrett-Jackson Auction that took place in Las Vegas to LOT 813.1 . Here we read the description "7,400 Original Miles! The E-Type is considered by many to be one of those rare gifts to the automotive world. This brilliant car was the result of a very passionate team with a clear focus. So sensuous was its visual presence that it is widely considered to be the most attractive car ever built. This superb original example was bought new in Beverly Hills, California and was also owned by World Renown collector, Jack Ruscilli." and we note that LOT 813.1 SOLD FOR $77,000 including Buyer's premium. As you can see it is the same photo as in this Blog post. (WOW! What a deal.)


For our next stop we go to XKEData.com and look up the entry for Jaguar E-Type CHASSIS # 876397 and we read all the interesting comments. We make a note of the last comment dated 2010-02-18 and then follow that link to THE AUTO COLLECTIONS which is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. As you can see same photos as above, same description as in the 2008 Barrett-Jackson auction.

CONCLUSION: This Cat smells like a rat.
