| UNDERGOING RECOMMISSIONING. LIKELY COMPLETION: SPRING 2009. Blessed by 30 years in the dry climate of South Africa, this quite astonishing example is something that all E-Type aspirants yearn for.
Not only is it `The Perfect Year`- a 1965 Series 1 4.2 Litre example, with its pure Coupe styling and close ratio, all synchromesh gearbox - but also it possesses a quite outstandingly original bodyshell. Unadulterated by the ravages of UK weather and the usual history of 'bodged' repairs, this example has the most amazing original structural integrity throughout, with excellent panel fitment and gaps. And that, as we all know, is a fundamental requirement for an E-Type.
Currently undergoing sensitive renovation (rather than restoration), this S1 4.2 E-Type Coupe, in the Classic combination of Carmen Red with, largely original, Black interior trim will be a prime piece both to own...and drive. Currently having its engine & gearbox rebuilt, it will be fitted with an aluminium flywheel & new diaphragm clutch and the cylinder head, beautifully ported and with larger valves, will be a positive `Tour de Force`! The block has been scrupulously cleaned and fitted with new liners and pistons. Upgraded with the, superb, full Racing Green Cars 6-branch exhaust manifold and 2" Big Bore system (all in highly polished stainless steel), competition alternator, hi-torque starter, electronic ignition, 72-spoke Competition chrome wire wheels, Pirelli P4000 tyres, fully rebuilt suspension with polyeurethane bushes and Koni Classic adjustable dampers, you can be assured of an E-Type that will be a pleasure both to own, observe, drive and enjoy!
Well detailed throughout, without being `precious`, this 1965 Series 1 4.2 Litre E-Type Coupe is available for purchase, now, for completion in the Spring of 2009.
The final price is dependent upon the final cost of renovation, but it is likely to be in the region of £55,000 +. It will, however, be worth every single penny.....! |
