I bought mine when i was 32 , 10 years ago , and at many shows and gatherings many people didnt think the car was mine , I would have to pull the keys out of my pocket and start it before they would belive it was mine

Hi looked at a few but to be honest got very bored as my budget was tight and was set on a Series 1 3.8 FHC which aren't cheap. Its MOT'd and in overall rust free good condition, i am a perfectionist so over the next few years will be gently restoring it, when funds allow!!dal2.0litrefrogeye wrote:nice one , did you look at many before you bought ? i spent a year looking before finding the right one

35, 34 when I got it last year, maybe get one or two more years out of it with a head of hair!

I bought mine my Etype I was 22.... I am now 51 and still have it...
The car has transported a lot of my girlfriends, partners, my wife, my daughter and I cant imagine selling it - EVER...
It might sound strange but the car is such a major part of my life - that all my friends and family KNOW that it is part of who i am...
Yuh - weird I guess, but hey I quite like Etypes :o)
oops did I say any of this out loud?

Just got mine at 46 although I fear I will be a lot older by the time it is suitably restored and takes to the road once more :(
I had my first ride in an E-Type at the age of 12, a neighbours Series 2 OTS and that memory has stayed with me until this day. I cannot think of any modern car that would have the same impression 34 years on!
