Italian title
Chassis n° 888779

- Meticulous older preparation
- Ideal for regularity events
- Very powerful model

This Series 1 E-Type coupé was the subject of a very extensive " lightweight " preparation some twenty years ago, carried out by a British preparer. Stripped of its bumpers, the car was fitted with an exterior circuit-breaker, a quick-release fuel cap, bolted-in roll-bar and various elements of aluminium bodywork, including the lengthy front bonnet fastened with leather straps. The famous 6-cylinder twin-cam engine has also been modified to improve its performance. This has included fitting triple Weber carburettors with their six intake trumpets and a special aluminium exhaust manifold and radiator. The interior is in good condition with two beautifully-crafted black leather seats, and a leather-clad steering wheel.
This lovely E-Type was already in this configuration when our Italian collector acquired it, attracted by the quality of the modifications. Superb in a colour close to Gun Metal Grey, with Dunlop centre-lock wheels, this machine with its flowing and pared-down styling, is perfect for regularity rallies such as the prestigious Tour Auto. The standard E-Type is a powerful car, and this preparation makes it even more competitive.
