Mileage. 66668

This stunning E-Type comes to us in excellent condition with a well documented history file showing annual services and an eye watering amount spent on both the restoration and maintenance.

The thick binder is full of invoices and pictures showing the true attention to detail taken to restore this E-Type. The end result was truly remarkable, the bodywork and chassis being finished in Dark Green Metallic, which still holds a beautiful sheen and is complimented by the shining chromework.

At some point recently the engine was also fully stripped and rebuilt, and has the stunning interior has been restored to an exceptionally high standard, and the very fact that this E-Type has covered covered a mere 66668 Miles

The works undertaken through his restoration is impressive; yet painful when you tally it all up, however this has resulted in a beautiful driving E-Type.
