(Note: the first sentenceof the text below does not make sense)
This particular car is the 7th to last series 1 E-Type to be built at Browns Lane and is probably one of the youngest 3.8 series 1 cars still running. It is a very highly original UK right hand drive car that has it's original engine and gearbox still in place and is thus a 'matching numbers' car. Never converted, updated or modified it is offered for sale for the first time in the last 30 years. Acquired by our private vendor in 1985, he set about an immediate restoration. The car was then bare metal resprayed by Midlands bodyshop, Henry Martyn, in it's original colour of Opalescent Silver Blue and retrimmed in the original blue leather with a matching new navy blue hood fitted. The engine was rebuilt by respected marque experts, Forward Engineering, who at the same time also rebuilt the rear axle. Chromework, the hood frame, wheels etc. were all restored and refettled as required.
New Dunlop SP Sport tyres were fitted in 1990 and since then the car has been dry stored and used sparingly for pleasure with no more than 5,000 miles covered in the last 30 years. Other than the windscreen and the bonnet the car is completely original, including the Moss gearbox.
With an MOT until August 2015 this E-Type is now ready to use and enjoy and represents a serious long term investment opportunity.

This series 1 3.8 roadster is the 7th to last built and is probably one of the youngest of the 3.8 series 1 cars still running. It is a very original UK RHD matching numbers car. The previous owner enjoyed the car for thirty years. It is in its original colour of Opalescent Silver Blue and has been re-trimmed in the original blue leather with a matching new navy blue hood. The engine was rebuilt by respected marque experts, Forward Engineering who at the same time also rebuilt the rear axle. Chrome work, the hood frame, wheels etc. were all restored. The car has only covered 5000 miles in the last 30 years.
