First registered on 1st May 1962, this 'barn find' E-Type roadster comes with an old-style continuation logbook (issued 29th November 1965) listing eight owners, its late custodian, who purchased the car in 1974, being the last recorded therein. Owners prior to November 1965 are not known. We are advised that the original colour was Opalescent Grey, and that the car was resprayed Opalescent Maroon and then back to grey again in 1972. The E-Type was used briefly as a weekend car and then stored in the family garage at Gravesend from around 1979 until it was moved to barn storage circa two years ago.
