A United States delivery car, it was imported into the United Kingdom from France in 2016 and was Lot 58 at Brightwells of Leominster sale of Classic and Vintage cars on 13 July 2016. Listed as a running and driving E Type for restoration; LHD; recent import from France; NOVA reference. Not sold. Catalogue description below. The URL is

Imported recently from France, this French registered LHD 2+2 dates from 1966 and is fitted with the automatic gearbox option. Sadly at the time of writing we had been unable to unearth any of the car's history, although it drove smoothly around Brightwells car park when taking catalogue photographs. The brakes were in working order and the steering felt fine, although the tyres are past their sell by date given the potential performance of the car and will need replacement prior to an MOT test. The black leather interior has a nice patina although the carpets have been removed, which at least gave us the chance to inspect the solid nature of the floor pans. A pair of expensive stainless steel exhaust manifolds have been fitted, although the remainder of the stainless system which is being sold with the car has yet to be fitted.

The car appears complete apart from the carpets and its MPH odometer reads 85,590 miles although we are unable to confirm if this is accurate or not. It is being sold with a NOVA reference which will confirm that no duty is owing and that it can be registered in the UK.

This attractive light blue series 1 2+2 has the potential to become a good useable example give some TLC. With prices of E Types going the way they have in recent years, this looks a great way to join the fun on a modest budget.
