Current owner. Car was bought in 1989 as a basket case from a failed restoration project. Previous owner had bought car in 1989 and paid $87,300 for it! This was at the height of the e-type price insanity.

Note: Car was bought in November 1995 as a basket case. The previous owner had sold it to a shop in 1989 after a minor accident. Apparently they only had the car from July 13, 1988 until the accident in 1989. Lien on 1989 title was for $87,300 from the United Bank of Arizona in Tucson AZ. It was paid off on Mar 06, 1991.
The shop had intended to restore car and make a profit on it but the bottom dropped out of the market before they finished another '71 Primrose Yellow OTS for which they were asking $55,000 in 1995 when I bought this car.

Someone asked me about the steering wheel. No, it's not the original 16 inch Jaguar wheel although I do have it. I didn't like the feel so I replaced it with the Moto-Lita 15 inch version that is very similar to the original style. It's quite a bit stiffer and you don't feel like you are driving a tractor with a huge wheel.
I also wrapped it with one of those foam wraps to protect the wood and give it a beefier feel. The car gets driven fairly often in the summer and the Arizona heat takes it's toll on anything wood. I have only had the top (hood) up on it a half dozen times.
