We know this car, which was sold new by Parkers of Bolton to D.

Anderson on 13th December 1968.

It’s passed through the hallowed portals of our Oxfordshire HQ before.

Then, it was a non-running project in need of a fair bit of work just to get it back to decent mechanical order, let alone aesthetic perfection.

Today, it is a running project, in decent mechanical order, but still waiting for the aesthetic work to commence.

Then, as now, the stand-out quality that separates this car from other E Types of its type and era is its nailed-on, documented, obvious status as an unrestored, original and authentic survivor.

As we know from our experience of auctioning many E Types over the years, that quality is becoming increasingly hard to find, and accordingly more attractive to true marque and model enthusiasts.

The vendor, who has got the car up and running, sorted out the errant wiring looms, and generally ensured that it has a bright future as the bona fide classic it fully deserves...
