About Hagerty’s condition ratings
Dead, dull old repaint, tattered original upholstery, dirty carpets, cracked, stiff body seals and soft top. Dirty and aged but complete and orderly (for its age and condition) underhood. A straightforward restoration project.
Market commentary
With dirt and grunge, let alone dry, stiff, torn upholstery, bringing superior prices this E-type represents an unusually good value for its ilk. Honestly represented and realistically estimated by Bonhams, the new owner has a sound basis for the restoration it so badly needs at a price that is not irrational.
