#1 Is anyone familiar with this type 1?

I've started to look for E-Types and have a budget of £50k, so assumed that would mean S1's were very unfortunately out of my reach. Perhaps they are, but I've come across this advert that's only relatively recently been posted on autotrader. I was wondering if anyone might be familiar with it. It looks nice but the owner hasn't included a lot of info. I will of course drop them a message but was hoping somewhere hear might know it?

The reg is: MUF 532F

The MOT history checks out.
Some non original parts if that bothers you — it doesn’t me.

Why are the engine frames black?

It's a 2+2 model so a cheaper option.....what model would you prefer....£50k is a reasonable budget as prices have lowered...Auctions worth looking at if you know what to look for....Steve....PS post in our wanted section that you have £50k waiting to find a car....its a buyers market
