This is a very early V-12 E-type being car number 224, which one does not come accross a car being this early very often. The car was built in December of 1970 and has fully matching numbers . The odometer shows 23,250 original miles on the car and the original Dunlop SP Sports tires that came on the car from the factory are even still on it to confirm this. It does run, but will need the brakes going through. The body on the car is in super condition.
