Originally supplied by British Leyland, New York in April 1974, where it had two owners before being returned to the UK in 1997 with 99,655 miles. This original 3 speed automatic example of the series III E Type Roadster is presented in gleaming red paintwork and excellent black trim. Boasting a pampered garage life over the last 28 years, since its sale in 1997 the car has had just two further owners and driven 5885 miles, with a full engine re-build and conversion to right hand drive in 1997, a full body restoration in 2011 and a second full engine re-build and general mechanical upgrades in 2023. The engine was re-built in 1997 alongside the brakes and suspension, a new radiator and cooling system was added and the carburettors rebuilt, all to the full UK specification including yellow indicators, no side wing lights and correct chrome over-riders. New carpets, interior trim, seat covers and roof were also replaced with only 5885 miles covered since. In 2023 a full engine and mechanical assessment was carried out by classic car specialist IK Classics and as a result a full engine re-build was again commissioned plus repairs and upgrades to the brakes, carburettors, ignition & distributor and suspension at a total cost of 18,000 pounds. All five wheels were recently refurbished by Tudor wheels and a full exhaust replaced in stainless steel. This matching numbers example boasts original features including original side sill weld spots, all original glass, original build stickers and identity plaque coupled with original spare wheel sound proofing. Supplied with a huge history file, including a Heritage certificate and nearly 50,000 pounds of receipts. The perfect combination of drivability and E Type styling, this series III loves to be driven and enjoyed and receives constant smiles and compliments when out and about...a beautiful car to own, drive and admire !
