Sellers description:
Great coupe that's just been thoroughly sorted by it's owner, my English-car mechanic, Tony. Now Tony is going back to the UK and has asked me to find a new home for his baby.

We know the history of this car going back approximately 25 years, when my other English-car specialist Ned went to Virginia to inspect and bring it home for a local customer. I purchased it from that owner's estate approximately a year ago and sold it to Tony, who'd been looking for a solid example to restore for himself.

Kitted-out in fresh paint, fresh interior, fresh wheels, new tires and fresh rubber seals all around, you won't get a better deal on a 4.2 liter 6 cyllinder Series 1 coupe than this. It's been well sorted mechanically, so it starts and runs super-strong with no overheating problems. It's a solid driver with no shimy or pulling and feels very good in traffic or at speed. it just needs a couple of finishing touches to complete what Tony started and it will be a real show stopper.

What this E-type needs:
Tony fit new rubber gaskets around all three doors and the bonnet. The rubber is still quite stiff. The gaskets may need to be refit or they might just need "breaking in time" so that they soften up. The fitment of the doors is good, but they don't close easily.

The new leather interior is for the most part excellent, but there are a couple of trim pieces, the a-pillars and the edges just inside the two smaller side windows, which need to be refitted.

Restored a decade ago while it was still in the United States, it is now finished in Old English White rather than the Cream it left the factory in. However, it does retain its red interior, albeit largely new and restored.
