This Series III E-Type was originally exported to the USA and brought back to the United Kingdom in 1989. It was purchased by the vendor, who commissioned a total restoration by Vicarage, the respected marque restorers. As such it is in fine condition and worthy of close inspection. The car performed faultlessly during a short test drive. It is Swiss registered.
