Manufactured on the 20th September 1962 and despatched on the 11th October, this original right hand drive, matching numbers example was unusually sold through Claparede in Geneva, Switzerland. The car has resided in Switzerland until 2015; for many years it has been part of a prominent Swiss collection and used regularly on many events whilst in his ownership and only earlier this year the car has returned to the UK and is now UK registered.
Supplied with the car are substantial bills from Swiss specialists totalling over £10,000 in March 2012 and a further £2,300 in May 2013 with the car described as being in excellent mechanical order and has recently just been MoT’d. Resplendent in its original colour combination of Old English White with a contrasting biscuit interior and black hood and hood bag, this fine example has a 5 speed Getrag gearbox enabling high speed cruising; an extremely desirable option for long distance touring.
Supplied with a UK V5 document, Heritage Trust Certificate, current MoT certificate and aforementioned bills, this is one of the most revered and recognisable classics of all. This wonderful E-Type offers an almost unparalleled opportunity to enjoy one of the most famous classic sport scars of all time.
