I had a Series 1 4.2 roadster, rebuilt to a very high standard with lots of Eagle upgrades. It was a great car but after having it restored, I fretted each time I took it out.
Before I bought that one, I looked at a few others and can confidently say that a tired E Type is a sluggish, waywood, horrible car but a well sorted one is still sublime. Sold it 6 years ago when we moved and wish I'd kept it! The amazing thing is, they ride far more like a modern car than their age would suggest.
I well remember looking at several early e types at the Nec classic car show before the 50th anni which were for sale and the prices now look scary !
