Sold for £100,500 inclusive of Buyer's Premium

This beautiful E-Type Series I Roadster was purchased from Eagle Racing Ltd in 2001 by the vendor having previously belonged to a Mr Simon Parris, of Rotherfield, East Sussex. Mr Parris spent over £23,500 on the E-Type's full restoration (before he stopped adding up the bills) which also involved the incorporation of several discreet enhancements. The latter include up-rated suspension torsion bars, Koni adjustable shock absorbers all round, 4-pot front brake callipers, 6½" racing wheel rims, high-flow radiator, Kenlowe electric fan and a 2" stainless exhaust with branch manifold. A Tracker device is fitted also.
While in the vendor's care the car has benefited from further work, carried out by Eagle E-Types in August 2006 at a cost of £11,688, which included a service and the installation of an upgraded alternator, starter motor and crankshaft damper (see report and invoice on file). In addition the car comes with a file of history containing numerous other bills, old-style logbook, photographic record of the restoration, a quantity of expired MoTs and tax discs, Swansea V5C document and MoT to 16th June 2011 (issued at 78,977 miles).
