Would like to know the history of my car. It was exported from California in 1990 and have only done 4500 miles since then.

Almost original E-type, only repainted once about 15 years ago. Willow Green was Sir William Lyons' favorite color. 100% rust-free. No repairs have been done. Drives fast with a beautiful sound. Registered in Denmark in 1991, Heritage certificate. E-types are located in Falster, in southern Denmark. I also have an S1.5 roadster for minor restoration and a 1964 coupe, fully restored 20 years ago; the paint isn't 100% perfect, but it's 100% rust-free. Please call if you have any questions.

After my precious E Type and I "divorsed" in 2007 - to finance a historic race car. With are now together again.
I was lucky to buy her back again from the guy that I sold to in 2007.
Only to have done 2000 miles in the five years we were apart. So now the original milage is 63.000 with I believe is original.

One of the last Series 1 cars built
Never been welded and never restored
Original Willow Green with matching interior
Used in "Spies & Glisterup" movie
Matching numbers car verified by JDHT certificate
This beautiful Willow Green 1968 car is highly original. The vendor tells us that it has never been restored or welded throughout its 57 years. The result is a car with a great colour scheme displaying light and gentle patina.
The paintwork is matched to a light green leather interior, which is equally original. It even retains its correct factory wood-rimmed steering wheel, a rare find. We are told that it is a matching numbers example and that this is confirmed by the JDHT certificate.
The car began its life in the USA before spending time in Denmark. It features in the Danish movie Spies & Glisterup (aka Sex, Drugs & Taxation) released in 2013. The car moved to Sweden in 2012.
The vendor says:
“Runs perfectly, probably the best E-type I’ve ever driven. One of not too many original 1.5 on the market, very rare.”
History and Paperwork
Originally delivered new to New York in 1968
Retains its factory matching numbers, mechanicals and colour scheme
This is confirmed by a JDHT certificate
Exported to Denmark where it featured in the movie "Spies & Glisterup"
Imported to Sweden in 2012, where it has remained since
Comprehensive documentation advised by the seller

The Condition

Paintwork is in very good order with light marks typical of originality
Some small dents noted to the front of the vehicle

Interior carries an attractive patina, including dials and dashboard
All interior components reported to be original and well preserved
Retains original features like its factory E-Type wood-rimmed wheel
Fitted with CD player
Vendor states that car has never been welded or restored
Aside from the rarity and appealing colour scheme, much of the appeal of this car is the remarkable originality. The vendor tells us that it has never been welded or restored and we understand that the paintwork and matching light green interior are highly original.
Naturally, there are some areas of light patina, plus some small dents to the front of the bumper. They could all be repaired or improved, but perhaps they add important character to this gorgeous car.

4spd fully synchromesh transmission
Vendor states car "runs perfectly" and is very good to drive
Matching numbers engine as verified by the Heritage Certificate
Original mechanical components appear to be well-maintained

We are told that the car runs very well and without fault, and that it drives equally impressively.
