About this car

An early Series 1 E-Type with the 3.8-litre engine, the version that arrived in 1961 and set the template for the model's reputation. This car is finished in red and is offered at a price that reflects how affordable early cars still are compared with their significance.

It has had one owner for the last 22 years. The history file includes a Heritage certificate confirming the original engine and the Moss gearbox. The car was restored in the late 1990s.

Recent mechanical work is said to have cost over £8,000, covering a Revotec-style electric fan, suspension and brakes among other items. The dealer supplies it inspected and serviced, with a 12-month warranty. Mileage, registration and body style are not given on the page.
