Sellers description:
RECENTLY ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE FROM AN ESTATE. THE DECEASED OWNER HAD PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 1969 AND OWNED IT UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 2005. THE ONLY RUST ON THIS CAR IS A SMALL SPOT UNDER THE BATTERY BOX. ORIGINAL FLOORS AND INNER AND OUTER SILLS. STRUT PICK-UP POINTS ARE EXCELLENT. THE CAR HAS A LIGHT PRIMER COATING OVER THE ORIGINAL RICH GOLDEN SAND PAINT. THE INTERIOR IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL AND IS NOT WORN SO MUCH AS STAINED. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE MUCH OF THE INTERIOR. THE TOP IS GOOD, THE REAR WINDOW IS GOOD (THE DARK SPOT IS A REFLECTION). THE ORIGINAL ENGINE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND RECEIVED A TUNE-UP BY OUR SHOP. THE CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL ARE ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE. THIS CAR SHOWS NO EVIDENCE ANYWHERE OF ACCIDENT DAMAGE, NO INNER DENT REPAIR. PANELS AND GAPS ARE OUTSTANDING. THE ORIGINAL CHROME IS EXCELLENT. THE CAR WAS REPRESENTED TO US AS ORIGINAL MILES, WE BELIEVE THAT TO BE CORRECT BUT MILEAGE REQUIREMENTS ARE EXEMPT. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES VERY NICE. PUT NEW PAINT ON THIS E-TYPE AND FIX UP THE INTERIOR A BIT AND YOU WILL HAVE A VERY NICE CAR. TRULY A QUALITY CAR WITH TERRIFIC ORIGINALITY. VERY UNLIKELY THAT YOU WILL SEE ANOTHER 4.2 COVERED HEADLIGHT E-TYPE LIKE THIS APPEAR SOON.
