This is a rare opportunity to
acquire a very special, super-early production E Type coupe
that is midway through a total restoration in the Team CJ
Works. 885036 was the 36th left hand drive coupe
manufactured and was supplied new in the stunning livery of
Indigo Blue with Beige Connolly hide interior. The first
owner was Eugene Bundick of the University of California at
Berkeley. Mr. Bundick must have cut quite the dash on campus
in the summer of '61!
We first purchased 885036 back in 2002, eventually selling
it to a repeat restoration client who commissioned a total
Team CJ restoration. Unfortunately, life got in the way for
that particular gentleman, and the project was put on hold
indefinitely. Eventually we bought the car back and it has
been waiting patiently in the wings for the restoration to
be completed.
Before the project was put on hold, we had already completed
the body restoration and fully rebuilt the original,
matching numbers engine. All of the removed components have
been carefully stored since the inception of the project,
and it is now time to complete the restoration.
885036 may be purchased "as is" for completion elsewhere,
although we would also be happy to discuss completion of the
restoration in the Team CJ Works.
Price: $150,000 in its current state, future restoration
costs by separate negotiation.
Viewing by strictly appointment.
Interested parties please contact Dan Mooney at the Team CJ
Works.
