Lot details Registration No: FYO371C Chassis No: 1E20872 Mot Expiry: None
Offered here is an original righthand drive Series 1 4.2-litre coupe, which was first registered 2 November 1965. Inspection of the documents included with the fixed head charts ownership history going back thirty years, there being much correspondence on file with previous keepers as well as copies of previous logbooks, old tax discs and several invoices detailing work carried out. Restoration work in the late 1980s and early 1990s would certainly appear to have been extensive with the body taken right back to bare metal and the refurbishment exceeding £15,000.
Among bills on file are those for...renewing inner and outer wheelarches as well as various panels and engine machining work in 1989; supply of new bonnet in 1990; repainting body and renewing wiring loom, rear lights and other electrical items as well as exhaust in 1991; engine rebuild 9000 miles ago in 1992; and retrim materials and new rear brake discs in 2001.
From September 2000, FYO 371C formed the centrepiece of a small private collection where it was stored in heated conditions. Currently, the Primrose Yellow paintwork is described as being excellent and the black interior retrimmed. Old MOTs confirm that this RHD S1 E-Type coupe has been driven just 9000 miles since restoration, the current certificate valid until next February. Brakes and cooling system have been uprated and Koni shock absorbers fitted all round.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
