Ebay item 8/22/12
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/300767926871
Car has a buy it now price of $59,000 for 4 days. 7k miles.

Sellers description:
This example has been fully restored in 1991 by a Jaguar specialist and looks/drives like a new car. There are no rattles, the interior and exterior are splendid. The panel gaps are simply perfect. The engine runs and sounds sweet and offers great performance. The full synchro gearbox works very smoothly.

The restoration is completely documented with invoices.

The car is not a numbers matching (engine is period correct but from another E-Type).

The car is an European Specification example.

The Chassis is 1E12905

The car has never been involved in any accident and its rust free. No body panels ever replaced. No filler at all.

If you are in the market for an immaculate E-Type which drives and sounds as goods as it looks, this is the car for you.

I'm pleased to see this car on xkedata. I restored this car in the early nineties for an Italian client - thus the side markers on the bonnet that were added in Italy for local compliance. The car was bought by me in Texas in 1989 as I watched the fall of the Berlin Wall on TV in my Austin hotel room. It was shipped to my shop in the UK where it undertook a complete nut and bolt restoration. I recall lying underneath it at 1am in January 1991 finishing the stainless steel exhaust listening on the radio to the launch of Desert Storm on the BBC.

I'm pleased to read the comments above that the gaps are perfect and the engine runs sweetly. It is a testament to our work that it would appear that it has all its original panels but it is only fair to point out that as with most E-Types, significant restoration was required to the bodywork. I hope the current owner is fully enjoying this wonderful E-Type.
