Mot Expiry: Nov 2004

This is a very special E Type. Originally manufactured in 1964, the roadster was totally rebuilt to today's stunning spec in 2001, the transformation carried out by the E Type Race Company who produced a very limited edition run of such cars.
The bodyshell employed was acquired new from Martin Robey with steel panels apart from GRP bonnet, strengthened inner sills, stiffening mods, FIA-compliant full roll-cage and firewalls. The spec included Autosparks wiring loom, new electrical components and lights, Fuel Safe tank, Aeroquip hoses, Willwood pedals and fabricated pedal box, Rob Beere race-spec torsion bars and anti-roll bars, Gazmatic 32-position shockers, 325lb rear springs, strengthened rear bottom wishbones with relocated mounting points, solid-mounted steering rack and rear subframes, 3.54 diff with Powr-Lok, Rob Beere 300bhp 3.8 engine on Webers, Tony Law manifolds and repackable silencers, Walkers radiator and fan, Getrag 5-speed gearbox, Sabelt harnesses, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, Dunlop replica 15ins diameter 7ins wide wheels with splined hub adaptors. No wonder these Es costs £65,000 in 2001! This one achieved two second places behind a 420bhp Aston and clocked up a hillclimb record during 2002.
Current condition of Primrose Yellow painted bodywork is said to be very good and black interior, stripped out for competition work, basic but functional. Engine, electrical equipment and gearbox are reportedly in very good order. Fully street legal, this exciting car has a tax disc current until next October, while the MOT will not need renewing until November 2004.
Please Note: This car has been fully rebuilt from an original left hand drive S1 3.8 fixed head coupe.
