Howdy Folks,
Having owned "4" E-Types; Here`s some info.
In the article it says the VIN# is ("785008"). I can assure you that is "In-Correct" or a Typo. It would have read ("875008") which would have made her the "8th" E-Type in the country. I owned, (About 6yrs ago VIN# (875190)-I hate to think about that) & That was the "190th" E-Type Rdstr built. "Flat Floor, Side Bonnet Locks & Welded in Louvres". The 3 main features to the very early E-Types.
The only thing this paint job did for the car was "De-Value" it. Its pretty hideous looking but as a "Promotional" thing; I guess it "Gets your Attention"!!
I`d bet the folks in the Jaguar Forum would have some comments on this one!!
I`m surprised Basil has`nt chimed in on this one, Yet.
Regards, Russ
