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.

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 

Original and unrestored with no evidence of welding repairs, says the seller 

The Condition

Exterior presents in original Willow Green with a patinated finish

Paintwork is in very good order with light marks typical of originality 

Some small dents noted to the front of the vehicle

Bodywork in fine shape with very good panel fit as shown 

Chromework presents well, showing light age due to originality 

Grey wire wheels with Pirelli tyres 

Light green interior across leather and carpets in original condition 

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. 

The Mechanics

4,235cc straight six XK engine

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

Series 1.5 features the improved brake servo system and twin Stromberg carburettors

The vendor tells us that this car retains its matching numbers engine and fully synchromesh gearbox. That is said to be confirmed by the JDHT certificate. 

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