Registration No: YHH 690
Chassis No: 860814
Mot Expiry: T.B.A.

This extremely desirable early matching numbers RHD UK home market E-Type was, according to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, manufactured on 20th August 1962 and despatched to supplying dealer Henlys of London on 7th September that year and registered `MK 47'. One of just 1,798 RHD fixed head coupe examples produced, it was originally painted in Opalescent Dark Blue with red interior. At some point the colour was changed to Carmen Red. We are informed that `YHH 690' was the subject of an extensive restoration circa fifteen years ago and that it was then put into storage following completion of the work. More recently, having emerged from its slumbers, it has been the subject of c. £15,000 of recommissioning work which included a repaint and refurbishment of the triple Dellorto carburettors. Invoices and photographs detailing the work carried out are included in the accompanying history file.

With E-Type values, especially those of early chassis numbered cars, continuing to spiral ever skywards, `YYH 690' ticks all the right boxes in the desirability stakes - the vendor summing the model up simply as "the one to have".

Expected to possess a fresh MoT by the time of sale, the car is offered with the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, invoices and photographs of works carried out and two old-style logbooks. The Swansea V5 document is awaited from DVLA and it is hoped it will be with the documents during pre-sale viewing.
