Equipment

Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Recent mechanical sorting by Classic Showcase on an older restoration that has held up very well. Represented as numbers matching. The paint has very few swirls from polishing. Newer tires. Clean engine with no rust or corrosion around it but discoloration on the headers. The interior has light creasing on the seats, and the wood steering wheel rim is lightly worn. The passenger's grab handle is worn. A clean and desirably configured E-Type that is let down by a few minor things.
Market commentary
This E-Type sold at RM Hershey in 2013 for $115,500. It's worth more today than it was then, but not so much more that it justifies rejecting the appropriate high bid here. It wasn't generous but it was fair.
