Here is a rather unique E Type V12 2+2, finished in Willow Green with an Olive Green interior. Original matching numbers UK car with automatic transmission and chrome wire wheels. Supplied new by Henlys London on 5 May 1971 to Mr T Bush. In 2005 the car went to marque specialists, David Marks of Nottingham where it had a complete engine overhaul to include fitting fuel injection, the conversion done regardless of cost. Detailed notes show how the unit is mounted, the wiring diagram for the same, list of all part numbers including numbers for fuel and air filters and a CD of the work carried out. The total cost of the work was £11,249.

The work was carried out at 9,608 miles and the car now shows 13,700 miles, so only around 4,000 miles ago. The car has been cared for by the previous owners substantiated by a large number of invoices and receipts including for a complete repaint and trim of the interior. This car performs well, starts first time, is smooth through the range with brakes and suspension performing as they should. The interior is superb, the paint is good but not without a few age related marks and blemishes.
