"Sturdy and nice E-type in a very good used condtion."

Description

A late and a cool representative of the model, and with a pretty Swedish history.
Used as a daily driver back in the days, but since the early 80's carefully partly rebuilt and maintained, only covering a very low mileage every year. The car was imported to Sweden as early as 1975 by a travelling metallurgist from the village of Smålandsstenar in the south of the country.
Upon a business trip to Luleå up north and Norrbottens Järnverk, a pair of the car's side windows got smashed. There and then the metallurgist realised the car's impact on certain people he ran into in his profession. At the time in Sweden, a car like this was not the thing to have hanging with guys at the steelworks.
And so it happened that a pair of the Arvidsson twins (yes, acually, they're two pair of twins in the family) in Gothenburg became the car's new enthusiastic owners. They had the bodywork rebuilt in 1980 and in 1981 it was ready for a trip to the 20 year anniversary celebrations of the E-type in Switzerland.
And to celebrate brother Christian's degree in 1983 from the Göteborg School of Business, Economics and Law they set out on a proper grand turismo trip to the Côte d'Azur in France, allowing the E-type to do what the car's was meant to do.
After those international tours, the car has only been used to national car meetings and other special occasions.

    The engine pulls strong with the SU carburettor conversion and a rebuilt ignition system, and the automatic gearbox performs as it should do. The brakes feels strong and consistent.

    Used, but handled with care. Traces of the car's life and the typical English old sports car scent is very present.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork was rebuilt in the early 80's with the proper leadwiping done. There's a small hint of corrosion at the left rear wheel arch.

  • General condition:

    A good, worn in and solid E-Type ready to be used.
