We have just restored one that went to auction and the last 2 bidders where telephone, the final bid was £118,000, it was a 74 V12 soft top, a famous person bought it so sadly it will never be driven.

I've driven past 4 x E types over the last few weeks at the side of the road, broke down, bonnets up waiting for recovery.

Could it be that old cars that are only driven occasionally are not as reliable as old cars that are daily drivers ?

I know I'm in the minority here but never been a fan of the E-TYPE. Love old cars and old jag XJ's but not the E-TYPE. Did Mr Evans buy it I wonder?

 

[Shelly]

I should of looked at the driver
He might of been famous who was driving it

It was expected to bring £95k so the dealer was over the moon, it wasn't Evans that bought it, the man is a big cheese in F1

I bet! The difference from what he expected to what it made is a years wages for some people.

We are doing another for the same guy mate, its almost done but he said its too late to take it to auction so he is going to wait until next summer, he is of course a millionaire so its not like he needs the cash, he does it for thrill of it, he has dealt in this type of car since they took off in the early 80s and knows his stuff, we only do the shell and he does most of the other stuff himself, every nut and bolt is replaced with brand new, he takes restoration to the extreme, thats why he gets top money.

The driver, is it Jeremy Corbyn ?

[PeteZ3]

there's a guy that lives on my road that has an E type, lives in the garage and only comes out a handful of days in the year, its a bit of a shame really, he only drives it round the block too. if i had it id be using it as often as possible!

I have a friend who has an etype roadster restored and drives it from his village to our village during descent weather season and also has a nice Triumph Vistesse. His etype is a six cylinder though and no takers at a local auction both lovely cars.
