Lot Ended
Description
From a deceased estate; just one owner and 50k miles from new; manual
gearbox; recently recommissioned following a period in storage
First registered in Birmingham
in May 1973, this E-Type V12 Coupe Manual has had just one owner from new and
shows only 49,997 miles on the odometer which we are assured is correct.
On offer here from a deceased estate, we are told that it has always
been properly looked after but unfortunately the family have been unable to find
the history file for the car so there isn’t much we can tell you about
it.
Unused for the last 10 years or so, in June last year it was sent to
Butlin & Sons of Derbyshire to be recommissioned for sale. This cost almost
£4,500 and included a thorough service, Crypton tune-up, rebuild of the carbs,
new windscreen and door rubbers plus much else besides, all detailed in an
invoice on file (see photos).
An undated note shows that
another £2,000 was spent on fixing various faults (leaking rear shock absorbers;
leaking diff pinion seal; gearbox mountings; front suspension
bushes).
As you can see in the photos,
it appears to be in good condition for the year/mileage and we have had it
running and driving on site. Given how little it has been
used in recent years, it will doubtless benefit from some precautionary checks
and short local runs before any long journeys are undertaken.
