    Car History

    From Jaguar Sports Racing Cars

    Never completed; frame could have been used for rebuilds of either XKC 402 or XKC 403; if the latter car, then frame would have been destroyed when car had its second (or first?) major accident.

    Philip Porter is the author of numerous books on the Jaguar marque. In additional to writing books and magazine articles and managing several businesses, he runs the XK Club and E-Type club from Worcestershire, England. His latest books include the Jaguar Scrapbook and the Stirling Moss 1929 - 1954 Scrapbook.

    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?
