Excellent Car for Restoring

Are you looking for a diamond in the rough to restore?  This is the car for you.  This E-Type is a RARE find. It is a running, driving car just waiting for someone to purchase it and restore it. 

History:  It is often strange how things come full circle.  Over 20 years ago I had the privilege of  selling the triple carburetors to the owner.  That owner later decided to sell the car to someone else who just recently contacted me about it and I was able to purchase the car.  In the early 1990s the last owner of the car parked the car in a garage, where it remained parked until I was given the opportunity to acquire this rare find. Due to a light accident to the bonnet, the owner took the car off the road and kept it in his garage.  As time passed the previous owner attempted to repair the car himself and never completed the repairs.  The damage from the accident was only to the right front end of the bonnet. This car is a work in progress.  The accident was not serious. The frame was not bent on the car. 

Condition:  This car has been in South Carolina since at least the mid 1980s. This E-Type is a running and driving car.  It is not the original color.  The original color of this car was Warwick Gray.  The color is now a faded white and red primer.  The bonnet has paint stripped off where the previous owner was working on repairs. Gauges and speedometer are functioning on the car.  The front end of the car feels tight.  It performs great and runs well.  I have performed a major service on this car.  All spark plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, points, condenser have been replaced; oil and oil filter have been changed; fluids drained and replaced; rebuilt triple carburetors; replaced air filter and seal with new ones. Brakes are functioning.  

Features:  The E-Type comes equipped with triple SU HD8 carburetors.  These carburetors allow the car to perform like a Series I E-Type or a European Series II E-Type. It comes equipped with optional air conditioning that was available in 1969 and original tinted glass. The car  also comes with an after market, black hardtop that resembles the original hardtop. It has 5 chrome wire wheels, the jack, the hammer, and the brass wrench in the bag. It also has an Alpine AM/FM Stereo Cassette system.

If you have any further questions on the car you may contact Mark at (864) 244-1555.  I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the car.
