Details
This fabulous E Type coupe was manufactured on the 21st of May, 1965 and was dispatched to Henlys, London on the 4th of June, 1965. Originally Opalescant Dark Green with suede green interior, the car presents today as an older restoration in excellent condition, finished in British Racing Green with suede green interior. The history of the car in the UK is unknown as is exactly when the car made it’s way to our shores but Concours Sportscar Restoration was recently asked to fully sort and recommission the car.
It is uncertain who completed the restoration which includes a long list of upgrades and modernisations:
- air conditioning
- 5 speed transmission
- 15 x 6.5in wide chrome wire wheels
- electric power steering
- upgraded braking system
- upgraded suspension
As a part of the recommissioning work undertaken, there was a number of suggested improvements also undertaken through the knowledge and experience that the team at CSR has. The exhaust was removed and replaced with a Classic Fabs stainless steel big bore system and the engine re tuned accordingly giving a very noticeable increase in torque and power along with a fantastic exhaust note. The wheel alignment geometry altered to fully realise the upgrades that had been made to the suspension and steering, transforming the way the car handles, steers and it’s straight line stability.
This E Type presents very well but drives even better. The powersteering and air conditioning make for a very comfortable car that can be used regularly and the 5 speed gearbox, braking and suspension upgrades allow the driver to pick up the pace with ease and safety. She is now fully sorted and ready for immediate enjoyment.
This is a great opportunity to purchase a very desirable original right hand drive, matching numbers series 1 E Type coupe at a very keen price.
