I've owned this beauty for 13 years. I purchased it when we lived in Santa Barbara from a Dr. who could not get in/out easily any more. It has been a California car most of it's life until we moved to Sammamish 4 years ago.

This lovely Series III E-Type Roadster was purchased by Judge DiLoreto a few decades ago, and has been kept largely in preserved cosmetic condition since, with much of the original interior still intact. The cockpit is fitted with a Moto Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel, A/C and manual transmission. The thrill of manipulating the torquey five-plus liter V12 via throttle and clutch is a sensation unique to these final evolution E-Types, themselves the ultimate evolution of the original E-Type design that dated back to 1961. One of the last of the breed, this E-Type is sure to provide many thrills for its next keeper.
