The 'E' Type Forum

this looks a nice thing on first glance. However, am I alone in questioning the numbering of the cylinder head and front picture frame? The font certainly looks iffy on the cylinder head, and I have never seen front picture frame stamping quite so "drunk". I recall being offered this car, and was effectively just a picture frame and ID hence I didnt pursue it. Gee whizz you have to be careful or maybe it doesn't matter?

Andrew,

Looked it up on XKEData & it is quoted as:

Originally Gun Metal Grey with Black interior
Awaiting restoration

if anyone feels the need

But now listed as fully restored by Bonhams in GMG with blue interior ?

Doesn't really help build confidence in it ?
