Introduction
Adam Purrier
This is a very genuine and much loved E-Type that has only had five former keepers.
In terms of originality, the car is in its factory colour with matching frame numbers – true the engine isn’t the original but it is a 4.2 and runs very lovely indeed – of course there has been an adjustment in the car’s reserve price.
If you’re in the market for a proper series one that you can use and enjoy for the fraction of the money, then surely this car has to be it.
Jo will be sad to see it go, however, she does want it to go to another loving home – could that be you?
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Adam after meeting Jo the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Simon, we’ve taken deposit on the car, at the £29,995 price point. If for any reason this falls through we’ll be in touch.
Thank you. I did offer before the deposit was taken ?
Hi. Could you clarify the purchase price? There seems to be various prices held? On eBay it has one price , in the description it has another and in the reply below it shows an even higher price? The non matching engine has a huge impact on value and the car will need a professional full respray to ensure the car is maintained to the standard it deserves. Has any investigation been made with previous owners to try and establish where the original engine is or to the reasons is was replaced? I love the fact that Jo used the… Read more »
Hi Martyn, thanks for your interest in the car. Originally this car was on auction with a guide of £38-£42k – so you may have seen prices on other sites in the middle of that estimate. It’s now for sale at £33,920 as Mark / Jo want a min of £32k returned to them. This is a great price and totally reflects the condition and non-matching numbers engine. Please see the replies below on the engine question. Cheers Adam
Hi, first of all, it is a lovely car! I just wondered if you could tell me why the engine was replaced and additonally why was the respray carried out (was the car involved in an accident)?
hey Henry – yeah it’s a lovely S1 and looks great in Golden Sand – very rare! The engine was replaced before Jo bought the car – she didn’t know it wasn’t the original engine. We found that out on our visit. It is a 4.2 engine though. No accident – just the usual reason, i.e. needed bodywork and fresh paint. It’s not a perfect car but this is reflected in the price and now available this week for £35k + our Buyer’s Premium (£37,100 all inc). If you haven’t done so already then please watch all the videos on… Read more »

Hi Adam, what year car has the 4.2 engine come from and what block type?
Best

I’m not entirely sure – you’ll see the engine number in one of the pics. If you have a resource to check then please let us know. Cheers
