This car, chassis 1S51355BN, is a RHD E-type Roadster based on a 1972 2+2 donor vehicle.
The restoration with a new body was commissioned in 1989 and executed by Country Classics Cars in the UK – it was executed to the highest possible level. The car was fitted with a five-speed Getrag gearbox, and the engine was bored to 5.7 litres.
The car was owned by an Englishman with a second home in Switzerland from 1989 until 2007. It was then purchased by the current Swiss owner, who drove it very sparingly.
Today, the car is still in perfect and almost ‘as-new’ condition, having been driven a mere 3,400 Miles (5,400 km) since 1989.
A large file with pictures and invoices since the restoration comes with the car.
The car is Swiss Tax paid and has the former UK V5 (cancelled).
