Owner: Mark Lee

I purchased my 68 Etype Roadster in 1973 and drove it before parking it in 1978. I started restoring it in 2000 with the help of my son and Muncie Imports and have completed it in June of 2011. It is completely original with a few modifications like electronic ignition and 3 SU carbs. Having Fun!!

Congratulation to what appears to be a fantastic restoration job. From the owner of 1E16409. Only five cars between ours.

Happy motoring from Copenhagen, Denmark

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
