#4 new etype
Hi Neil,
first of all a warm welcome to the forum as well and secondly, believe me, series one are really great (proud owner of 1966 series I , 4.2 FHC). I do prefer the 4.2 over 3.8 because of synchronized gear box, nice ride, excellent seats etc. but I hear that ride in 3.8 is very sporty and has it benefits too....
Good luck !!
cheers

Neil,
It looks indeed very very nice !
However, 125000 USD is quite high. Also, it is a left hand drive (do not know if you want to use it in Ireland or US) and do you know when was the restoration done exactly. It seems to have been done at an exceptional high standard although here and there are non-original features (which is off course not a big deal depending on your preferences).
As far as I know, it has been for sale for quite some time as well..
In any event, from the pictures, the car sure looks nice !
cheers
Erik
