Delivered new to the USA, this E-Type V12 roadster was completely restored to European specification in the 1990s by marque specialists, XK Engineering of Shilton, Coventry, UK and comes with a dossier containing related invoices and a photographic record of the work. Originally equipped with automatic transmission, it has been fitted with a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox and we are advised that the engine is unleaded compatible. The preceding owner only used the car at weekends and on occasional tours, maintaining it regardless of cost.

Since being acquired by the current vendor in 2011, the car has undergone the following:

Full interior re-trim to original specification (2011) Attention to paint and bodywork (2011) Full brake overhaul (2014) New clutch, ignition, extensive maintenance (2015) New radiator (2020)

Invoices relating to the above works are on file totalling the equivalent of approximately €30,000. The E-Type has been regularly exercised on European rallies; well maintained, it is in lovely cosmetic condition and performed faultlessly on a recent test drive with a Bonhams specialist.
