1E34853 is described by its current owner, Bob Onslow, in an article in the October 2020 edition of The E-type magazine (editor Philip Porter). He writes: “The car had been restored to a very high standard back in 1998-’99 with new sills, floorpans, bottom doors, rear wheel arches, the engine fully stripped and re-bored, the head skimmed and all rebuilt, the front suspension and IRS stripped and powder coated, etc, etc. It was reupholstered and finished with a different coat of paint that still looks absolutely beautiful today. Receipts for new parts used were abundant and there were two photo albums of the restoration, in addition to a very interesting history.”
