This desirable Series 1 Manual E-Type 2+2 has been in the same ownership since 1975. An original RHD car supplied new to the UK market, it was comprehensively overhauled in 1978 when the odometer clicked over the 100,000 mile mark. The engine, gearbox and clutch were all rebuilt, the space frame repainted and the front suspension restored.

From that point it has seen little use, laying dormant in garage storage for ten years and only covering around 36,000 miles in the last 33 years.

In 2008 Brookvale Mechanical Repairs were employed to bring the car up to a drivable standard, which involved replacing fluids and rubbers along with overhauling brake and clutch systems. Later work has seen the installation of twin cooling fans and sports air filters (original set available), along with a new starter motor and a set of Chrome wire wheels with suitable tyres.

In good mechanical and structural order, this E-Type will require body work and some interior renovation to make for a very capable and comfortable Grand Tourer. To be sold with current NSW pink slip.
