Gearbox Manual

One previous keeper; showing only 50,610 miles; dry stored patiently waiting on a new custodian to bring it gently back into the world.

This example was first registered in 1972, finished in Carmen red with a black leather interior and is now showing only 50,610 miles. Remarkably, it remained with its original owner until the vendor acquired it in 2014. Since then, it has been lovingly dry-stored, frozen in time rather than used, and now awaits a new custodian to bring it gently back into the world.

A wholly original car, it appears to have escaped the usual half-century of British weather, road salt and wear. The bodywork, trim and general presentation suggest a car that has lived a sheltered life, untouched by the typical deterioration that so often afflict E-Types of this age.

The vendor purchased the car in 2014 from its first and only long-term keeper, intending to preserve it carefully. After more than a decade in dry storage, the difficult decision has now been made to pass the car on to someone who will give it a fresh lease of life.

Starting and recommissioning work will naturally be expected after its period of inactivity, but the underlying originality and long-term preservation make this a particularly appealing basis for sympathetic revival.
