    Superb article about Frank Taylor's car in Jaguar Driver magazine November 2002 when he was interviewed by Tony Dudmesh. Excellent detailed history of the car and its various modifications. The owner was using the car is it should be used having driven all over the European Continent during his lengthy ownership.

    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?
