Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, Firestone tires, woodrim steering wheel, modern radiator and exhaust.
Condition
Very good paint and chrome other than a tiny chip on the nose. Slightly imperfect gaps. New exhaust. Clean underneath, but lightly run and not spotless. Very clean engine bay, correct other than the newer radiator. Very good restored interior. A gorgeous but probably not show-winning matching numbers early E-Type. Toured Europe immediately after delivery. Little used after that, then stored for many years and restored in 2007. Joined the E-type Anniversary Tour from Coventry to Geneva in 2011 and displayed at JLR's new headquarters opening in 2018.
Market commentary
This car sold for $176,000 at Bonhams Scottsdale in 2015. It has done 463 miles since then and is in essentially the same condition. Both results are very strong prices for a non-flat floor coupe, but with that kind of consistency it's hard to say the car doesn't deserve the money.
