Current bid $4,450 reserve not met, 6 bids 6 days left in auction. Note seller lists VIN as 1R275350, the 1R27535 is assumed, any corrections gladly received.

Sellers description:
Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men are for naught. I found this E-Type in a horse stall on a bed of wood chips in 1997. It hadn't been driven since 1981. Absolutely rust-free with 65,000 miles, I brought it home. Retiring in 2 years, it would be fun to restore. Ended up busier in retirement than before. Have worked on it in spurts over the last 10 years. Got it running and it runs well. Haven't had it on the road. It needs some minor body work and it's ready to paint. All glass has been removed and stored. All of the glass, trim, lights and chrome are in good shape.

Here is a list of things I've purchased over the years.

. Exhaust system (installed)
. Air and fuel filters (including the spendy one in the tank)
. Hose kit
. Rubber trim kit
. Dynamat (for center consel)
. Deluxe carpet kit (Classic Jaguar)
. Front shocks
. Some upholstery
. Light bulbs (side markers etc.)
. Thermostat
. Oil filter conversion
. Some small chrome pieces
. Battery
. New tires

Everything is here. Nuts and bolts, etc. are in baggies with notes. In the best of worlds winning bidder would come to Southern Oregon and pick it up.
