Equipment
3781/265hp, 4-speed, wire wheels, outside bonnet latches, welded louvers, woodrim steering wheel, Blaupunkt radio.
Condition
One of 385 roadsters with flat floor, welded louvers, and outside latches. Matching numbers. Was a 100-point JCNA show car…in 2001. Today there are no major issues, but there is condensation behind the headlights and marker lenses, the top shows wrinkling as well as stretching around the top frame, scratches in the side glass, and some wear to the switchgear. The configuration is desirable and its condition mostly good, and though the top quality restoration is reassuring, its high scoring concours appearance is from so long ago that it is of diminishing relevance.
Market commentary
Gooding sold this car here six years ago for nearly $320K, but E-Type prices haven't moved all that much since then and this one's restoration has aged. This is a fair result, all things considered.
