E Type roadster for sale 9,000 miles since total restoration in the CJ workshops |
Other cars for sale |
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.
This matching number CJ restoration is 100% rust free, cosmetically extremely presentable, and mechanically superb. I have used the car frequently over the last several months and it has been an absolute joy to drive.
