12 years and approximately 9,000 miles have passed since we restored this beautiful E Type, and it is
now time for her to go to a new home!
This car has just received a major mechanical update in the Team CJ
workshops. Within the last 300 miles we have have installed new Dunlop
tires, new Koni shocks and springs, new uprated torsion bars, our latest
specification vented brake conversion, new H4 headlamps, a new
stainless steel CJ header system, a CJ K&N billet air filter kit,
rebuilt the triple SU carbs and
installed a state of the art Ignition 123 electronic distributor. This car is now in perfect mechanical condition and drives beautifully.
This exceptional E Type features numerous performance and reliability
upgrades, including a smooth shifting CJ5 five speed transmission (the
original matching number four speed casing is included in the sale).
Cosmetically the paint has picked up a few very minor nicks and
imperfections since the car left CJ
12 years ago. That said, the paint still shows very nicely overall, and
is certainly 'high quality driver' or perhaps 'local show' standard. As is almost always
the case, the photos make the paint appear a little better than it actually is. The interior and canvas
convertible top show just the right amount of patina you might expect
from 9,000 miles of gentle use, and remain in excellent condition.
