The engine was rebuilt by Coventry West in 2011 and has approximately 15,000 miles on it. At that time a new 5 speed transmission was installed along with a new clutch assembly and water pump. Brakes were rebuilt in 2005 with stainless steel cylinders. Carburetors were rebuilt in 2011.

I am the third owner. The car was originally sold in California. Sometime in the early 90's it was sold to the second owner in Ohio. In 2004 the car received a bare metal repaint in BRG along with re-chroming most of the bright work. The car has all original sheet metal. I purchased the car in 2005. 

In 2011 the car was part of a display at Quail Lodge during the Monterey Car Week to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the E Type .

The paint is show quality with no dents, scratches or chips, all panel gaps are as they should be. The interior has been updated with new headliner, dash pad, carpets and leather seat covers. The car runs and drives perfectly. When I relocated to Northern California I drove the car there 500 miles without any problems. This is a car that needs nothing but to to be driven, which since my move in 2018 has been less that 1,000 miles/year which is my reason for sale.
