Car is in pieces - very many pieces - and awaiting restoration as my first E Type. A glorious jig saw puzzle indeed.... I will probably build it with all the original parts, thereby keeping it left hand drive despite UK usage.

Met with the first owner, Mr Allan J Suvada in Chicago IL on 8th July 2006. Very nice man and gave me some history of the car's early days.

What were the comments of the orginal owner? I would love to hear who owned mine because I would love to thank him for taking such great care of the car I own. I would love to hear about the work in progress when you get a free minute.
Email me. Thanks and great luck to you from Canada...Johnnie
