1974 E Type Series 3 in McLaren Palladian Silver with Red Connolly leather and Wilton carpets. Starting with a matching numbers roadster, this stunning car has been modified to fulfil one man's dream of the ultimate E Type. Such is its enormous specification that it has to be seen and driven in order to be appreciated. Painstakingly created by the craftsmen at Southern Classics, it features reworked front and rear bumpers, a restyled front grill and flared wheel arches that cover 16 x 7.5 ins wheels. The V12 powerplant has been rebuilt and extended to six litres; running on Jenvey throttle bodies and now producing 450bhp. A five speed Tremec T5 gearbox has been fitted and the braking, suspension and steering systems have all been upgraded. Subtle interior touches abound such as sattelite navigation, air conditioning, LED curtesy lights and a beautiful turned alluminium centre console.

The build quality and standard of finish are exquisite throughout and the car drives superbly, rivalling anything built by other well known E Type specialists. There's immense torque from the V12 engine, the power steering is perfectly weighted, and the suspension upgrades transform the ride and handling. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a bespoke E Type, presented in as new condition having covered less than 400 miles since the build. As 2021 is the 60th annivesary of the launch of the E Type, the new owner of this magnificent E Type will be welcome at the numerous planned events. An article about the car appeared in E Type magazine in 2020. Very realistically priced for a car in this superb condition.
