Wet Sunday in Port Macquarie
Have a look at this 1969 Series 2 E-type Roadster
Unfortunately, I don't know too much about her provenance, but she is a left hooker, and if you look carefully there is a Principality of Monaco decal on the rear number plate frame. Indeed when I was cleaning her, I found a pair of silk knickers under the passenger seat with "Grace" embroidered on the waist line - bloody hell, I thought, they've just increased the value of this car 4 fold......then I woke up!!
I think it's probably a California car. - I've not done too much to her apart from a bit of body work in the boot, paint renovation and returned her to the original spec triple SU's rather than the underpowered, limp wristed set up that the Yanks insisted on in the late 60's
Will she get more work? - That's a contentious question. Clearly, somebody has done work on her before, and I imagine there is a fair degree of filler here and there (although she's pretty dammed straight). To take her back to metal and potentially unmask 30-50k in renovation work may not (at this time) be appropriate - would be a different story if she was a series 1 or 1.5
Anyhow, she's a nice Sunday driver, low profiles (I can hear the groans from the purists) enhance her "sit" on the road, but you've got to be careful with kerbs and speed bumps, lest you part with the exhaust
Regards
Jeremy

The E-Type is the only car I would consider selling my Morgan for. She looks beautiful.

Jeremy, Just realised that with a stable like this you are a prime candidate for the All British Sports Car display in Sydney, August 31st. See if you can pencil it in?

Lovely Jeremy! If I had the garage space I'd have one in a heartbeat!
