The early history of this tax exempt 1972 Coupe is not clear until it was purchased many years ago by the well known actor Bill Maynard for his wife Tonia Bern, the widowed Mrs Donald Campbell. Imported by him from the US in LHD form specially for her, it was subsequently passed on to the vendor who had it converted to RHD in 1999 by a West Midlands based specialist.

The car has remained in dry storage for the last 12 years, but has been recently recommissioned. This process included fitting electronic ignition, a new battery, reconditioned steering rack and new brake pads. MOTd until April 2015 there are no advisories listed and it is described by the vendor as sound underneath.

It now drives well and sounds fantastic, running beautifully on all 12-cylinders when taken out for the photographs. Although introduced over 53 years ago, it is still a red-letter day when you see an E-type on the road. This modestly priced example will enable its lucky new owner to get that feeling every time they open the garage door.
