Verified mileage of 82,899 with MOT history back to 1985

First registered in June 1968, this is a genuine RHD UK 4.2L manual gearbox car that has had just five keepers. The current one added it to his collection in 2019 and has used it sparingly whilst storing it in a heated garage on wet days and through winter. He tells us that the MOT records, which date back to 1985, verify the low displayed mileage of 82,899 miles. 

The car received a full, professional respray in 2019 and presents in very good order with a black leather interior. The cabin is well kept and benefits from a recently fitted new roof lining. Mechanically, the car is in similar order with a full service in 2020 plus refreshed brake, gearbox and clutch fluids. The vendor reports that the car has covered 300 miles since this work. New tyres were fitted at around the same time, together with a set of quality chrome wire wheels. 

Smart and very tidy, this practical late-model Series 1 is ideal for the early-E-Type enthusiast who wants to get out and enjoy their car. 

The vendor 

“This is a great car to drive powerful and smooth. Corners well and stops in a straight line. I have enjoyed it for 6 years but my age now means I am unable to get the best from it and it's time for a new keeper to enjoy it.”
