#1 My previous e-types, where are they now

Post by tim wood » Sun Aug 27, 2017 3:47 pm

When I were a nipper my brother in law had an OTS , courted my sister in it and I used to love to ride in it.
AYW 333B where are you.


Moving on I purchased a 4.2 fixed head. It was 8 years old in 1974 and rotten with rust, but I courted my wife in it.
NWW 133E where are you.

Now a have a 2+2 which has been mine for 20 years and about to move to an OTS, that nearly 40 years of e-types, they must kind of get in your blood.

Series 1 FHC purchased 40 years ago. Courted my wife in it.
Series 1 2+2 when the kids were small now sold.
Series 1.5 OTS in opalescent maroon, Californian car. My retirement present.

Not looking good, neither car has been taxed for over 30 years, and neither is SORNed. Unless they were both exported or both stored away for decades, neither of them exists today.

In a similar vein , KTU 568N a S3 OTS I found in Kuwait stripped boxed and returned to UK whereupon I rebuilt it winning various JDC concours events. PNK 299D my first E Type, a S1 4.2 FHC and BDM 420H a S2 FHC It would be good to know you are in good hands.

By the way if there are any previous owners of my car in the Avatar (AOX6K) 1971 to 1982 please let me know :smile:

Thanks
