The 'E' Type Forum

Yes it seems better value. From what I've learned this past 6 months in the club and forum is that the bodywork is the killer, mechanics less so. Most E's look shiny and inviting but underneath there lurks costly rust and tricky sub frame and chassis problems, unless its had all of that done which m...

Good point. Its bewildering!

I'm used to Classics, its always a revelation to rememebr what cars used to be like and part of the fun really, particulalry remembering to brake very early! I'm sure I would love driving an E, but frankly its the price that scares me rigid. My 911 was bought long before things got silly, so I never...

Thanks. Interesting, more or less the correct price. Still a lot of money though to a humble non millionaire like me!

Thanks for the advice, will look at these as well. I would need to sell my 911 Supersport and my lovely Red NSX to pay for an E Type in this price range. And of course, who knows if that's the right thing to do, only time would tell. I know people who have driven an E Type and disliked it, others wh...

I have been offered one by classic motor cars in Shropshire for £140K not on web yet. Restored 12 years...

Hi I am looking for the above, and it needs to be in restored condition , I've looked around on the internet and the values seem to be all over the place, from suspiciously cheap to outrageously pricey. Does anyone have a rough range for an A1 car but obviously not a show winner or concours nut and ...

Hi, I just joined the club. Sadly I dont have an E Type, but have decided to take the plunge in the next few months. At first I was thinking it would be fairly easy to pick up a reasonable example that maybe needed a little tlc, but reading through the posts, looks like this is naive to say the leas...

Not really! I am going to introduce myself on the forum as soon as I get a chance,I'm a private individual I dont own an E Type but am looking for one in the next few months hence the PM. Still trying to absorb lots of info on choosing an E Type as I am until now Porsche driver and really lack knowl...
