Apologies for the title but this E type was one of the Scottish Motor show cars.

The re build is quite astonishing.!

Peter, I wonder just how much that 3000 hour restoration would have cost? North of £200K I would imagine?

Shouldn’t an E-Type with chassis number 15 not have external bonnet locks?

Good point Art. I think I'd want it other than in primer too.

Funnily enough I wondered that when I saw it too. Was it just the open-top early cars that had them????
