Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

Morning all,

Opportunities to buy an early E-Type fhc project, one that hasn't been got at but just left to fester, don't come along all too often. This one has a single bid at the opening price of £20k, and I can't help thinking that it'll do better than that, despite its parlous condition with rot in every panel.

IIRC, it sold for £45,000. Now have a look at this one and guess the price.



Now go here and see if you were close. Own up now!

So, having shocked you with that result, now guess this one. Again, you'll be surprised!



And, the answer is here:-

Bet you got it wrong!

That's a lot of XJ for the £ agreed, although putting a Series 2 front onto a Series 1 car won't meet with universal approval ..... it'd put me off.

To return to where we started, here is a car last sold for Under £10,000:-



Now we move on a few years, and here is a car sold last weekend at the Revival:-



The first car is 1961 and the second 1962. If you look here you'll see that prices have changed somewhat. Wel, how close were you?
