About this car

The 2+2 was the longer-wheelbase E-Type, with a taller roof and rear seats, and it suits touring better than the two-seater roadster or coupe. This 1970 car has the 4.2-litre straight-six and a manual gearbox, and is finished in blue.

The listing describes a total restoration: bare-metal repaint, an engine rebuild, a new clutch and a new leather interior in cream with blue piping. All the brightwork has been rechromed, the car has new wheels and tyres, and the steering wheel has been French polished. It is described as a multi-show winner.

The page shows 3,000 miles and one keeper, though it does not say whether the mileage dates from before or after the restoration. Service history is not stated. It is being sold privately through a listings platform, so a prospective buyer should ask for the restoration paperwork.
