    I did mechanical work on quite a few in the 1960's. Right PIA. Bad accessibility. Much removal of body panels or major mechanical bits to get to the bit needing repair. Rust, rust, rust, like most pom cars of the period. The poms never liked to waste paint on anything out of sight.

    I absolutely love E type's. When I was a kid about 10 I had a slot car set.

    One of the cars was an E type and this was my favorite.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    makes this one look like a bargain,although probably not as rare a model as the unrestored one.

    No one who is into E-types would be caught dead in a 2+2 - the body proportions are all wrong and they are the least desirable of the marque - hence their low value.

    I picked up my Healey after a service and pink slip inspection yesterday and in the workshop there was an E-Type race engine. just sitting there, waiting to be sold....and it is a beautiful, beautiful engine.

    The owner decided to restore the car back to normal with the original PU and sell the racing one.

    If you know anyone who's after a bit more performance form their E-Type, let me know!
