About this car

This is an early Series 1 E-type with the 3.8-litre engine and the straight, early-style rear bulkhead, a right-hand-drive UK car first supplied by Henlys of London in April 1962. It is finished in Opalescent Dark Blue with a grey interior and blue hood.

The page quotes a genuine 19,000 miles from new and two owners. The second owner bought it in 1967, and it has been kept in a dry garage on stands since it last ran on the road in the 1970s. It still carries its original ME 22 registration, which the dealer says is included in the price.

Supporting history includes the original buff logbook, a heritage certificate, bills and MOTs dating from the 1960s. The original tool roll, tools and early-style bottle jack and handle remain with the car, and the body number is still chalked under the bonnet.

Top speed, 0-60 and weight are left null because the well-known 150 mph and ~7 s figures come from press road tests, not confirmed factory data.).
