Bygone Bolton video - red S1 FHC spotted

[Jaguar_Man]

Was watching a vintage video of Bolton, Lancs today called Bolton (bygone times), and was pleasantly surprised to see in one brief shot an E-Type series 1 that is seen heading down a busy road in the town centre. The E-Type is seen behind a red bus and, after a short distance, it then accelerates past. Can't tell whether it's a FHC or 2+2, but likely is a 2 seater. Very rare find indeed. I wonder who owned it?. Just ashame you can't make out the number. According to the narration, the footage was shot sometime in the 60s or possibly 70s. I don't think E-Types were that uncommon even back then, it just depends who wanted one and who you knew who had one.

The E-Type can be seen at the 6:08 mark

Nice find. Here is a screen capture:

I still can't make my mind up whether it's either a FHC or a 2+2. From the beginning shot it looks like a FHC, but when you see it further on (with the back level on) the rear looks a little higher as would be noticed with the 2+2l. I love how it just breezes past the bus like the driver was saying "move out of my way you slow bus".

I'd probably say that was a FHC, roof seems to curve down like one anyway, doesn't look like a high roof to me.

I agree, FHC.
