#1 G'day...

Post by Tricky1.5 » Sun May 21, 2017 1:31 pm

Hi everyone,
I'm very proud to say I now own an E type, well parts of one anyway. I was lucky enough to stumble across what is possibly the last barn find in Australia. A 1968 Series 1.5
It was imported from the USA almost 20 years ago in parts. It was stripped put under primer and forgotten about for 17 years. It is completely disassembled but in very good condition. Almost no rust!!
It has been moved a few time in this state so there are a few bits missing making this huge jigsaw puzzle just that little bit harder.
I have made a start but there is a longway to go. This forum has already been a big help and I'm sure I will have many questions over the next few years.

Well done, that man.

It looks in great condition for a barn find. I cannot wait to see pics of the finished article.

All the best,
