This E-Type Series 3 roadster was purchased by the deceased owner in August 1997 having had four previous keepers. The car has been very well maintained over the course of the last 18 years, and in 2008 benefited from extensive refurbishment carried out by the respected marque specialist, Guy Broad, whose email confirming the cost of parts and labour (approximately £25,000) is on file together with a photographic record of the work. Prior to that date (in 2006), the rear axle had been rebuilt, while a new mohair hood and tonneau cover were installed in 2003. Other noteworthy features include a Clifford immobiliser, whitewall tyres, battery isolator switch, safety belts and Xenon headlight bulbs. Finished in red with black leather interior, this obviously well cared-for V12 E-Type is offered with purchase receipt (1984), V5 registration document, and a large history file of invoices. Its late owner's cherished registration, 'PER 1A', is included in the sale.
