tooquicktostop Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 You should try the classic car mags, bread and butter to them and will go in no time I am sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Don't get me wrong that price is very good! But the cost of restoring it is a mine field. I have watched people take on these cars/projects and before they know it they are too deep in to jump out and too skint to carry on. To whoever takes this on (on this forum) DO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR! It will be an investment/hobby but set a limit or your doomed I tell theeeee dooooooooooooomed....

jagman Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 This looks indeed a bargain but only in that you would spend half a small fortune to do nicely instead of the full fortune. If he still has it post Xmas I would have it. With Tlc and a few choice upgrades like overdrive and su carbs it would a great folly and I miss my previous E - type folly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Would love one of these with some modern bits underneath. Can't justify that sort of outlay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Not as much as claimed. I have done a couple of the very sort after v12 convertibles and after spending 30-35k restoring it to mint condition it might be worth 25k if you find someone who really wants one. The classic car game is a big gamble in the end you never really win as the restorer/owner unless you do it all yourself and get the car for nothing. But don't take my word for it as some people get very lucky;) HTH I don't really understand the E-type market, other than mileage seems to determine price, and then condition. Prices for roadsters seem to be anywhere between £25k and silly money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 this one is a bargain, only second owner on log book and not been on the road for 27 years so the condition of the shell is the best your get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
