Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Wire wheels, Dunlop SP Sport tires, cloth boot cover, wood shift knob, woodrim steering wheel, later digital radio.

Condition

Originally an Opalescent Dark Blue car, and sold new in Canada. Restoration work from 2016-18 in the UK, but plenty of stones (mostly cosmetic ones) were left unturned. Tired, faded chrome with light pitting on the front bumperettes. Dirt behind the headlight covers. Older detail scratched paint with prep issues, particles in it, small blisters in spots and orange peel in several areas. Good restored interior with lightly worn seats and dirt in the creases. Water spots on the wheels. Inherently collectible as a flat floor car, but it's a driver.

Market commentary

The presentation of this E-type leaves much to be desired, issues that will be expensive to remedy and generally neglected such that its care is called into question. All that is adequately and appropriately taken into account in the modest price it brought. It's good enough to be driven as is, appreciated from a distance of 20 feet, or as the basis for attention to the awful paint on the way to being a $300,000 Flat Floor E-type.
