Early ownership history of this California car dates back to 1974, when it was sold to a James Price Ashman, of Barrington, Illinois. Documents confirm both its California heritage and mileage, along with its subsequent owner history. Under the ownership of Lee O'Donnell, a ground-up, concours-quality restoration commenced, with nothing left untouched. What resulted is the beautiful E-Type offered today. At the time of restoration, the odometer was also reset to zero. Since completion, only test miles have been added.

This car is finished in red, with a biscuit leather interior and black hood, and it features triple-plated chrome wire wheels and Dunlop blackwall tires. It has its original engine block and head, new Koni shocks, stainless steel brake lines, and a correct Blaupunkt radio. The owner's manual, jack, and tool roll are also included with the sale of the car. The consigner describes it as "simply fantastic" and "among the best of the best when it comes to one of the most desirable and sought-after XKE Roadsters."
