Many thanks to Bernard at Marreyt for providing this info.

Sellers description:
This very early "Flat Floor" model has chassis nr 190.

It is the third time in 15 years that this E-type is on our stocklist. The first time, she came from the USA as a super sound original car with matching numbers but in need of a full restoration.

Two owners and 15 years later, the car is in absolutely pristine condition and a fortune has been spent...
Finished in, as she was originally, gun metal grey with red leather interior, this E-type can only be described as spotless from presentation. The last owner did some extra tuning and balancing work to the engine which results now in an impressively powerful but smooth sportscar on the road.

So close to perfection that the last owner did not dare driving her, afraid he would damage his pride and joy. Do you have the guts to do so ?

Available at a fraction of the total restoration cost for only 52.500 euro.
