Marco Makaus. Italy
|
Marco writes: Incredibly this car remained unsold with the Italian importer for over one year. I first saw it in 1966, when I was seven and it was owned by the father of one of my school mates. Can you believe I said to myself "One day..."? To cut a long story short, fifteen years later, in 1981, I married my mate's sister, and guess what was my father-in-law's present? Today, I've had it for longer than he, and what a wonderful affair it has been, and still is. So, strictly speaking, a one family owned E Type. Incidentally I believe it could be the most original E Type in Italy. |
1968 E-Type FHC Chassis # 1R 25429, engine # 7R 2609-9.
Robert Herman Pensacola, Florida, USA
| Robert writes: I bought it on Jan 25, 1969 from Grand Prix Motors in Jacksonville, Florida. It is pretty much in original condition, although I changed the rear end from a 3:54 to a 3:07. I had the engine rebuilt once because it was burning a lot of oil. Had it repainted 1997, pale primrose. It's running good right now. Had to replace ignition parts and re-do carbs a year ago after it had sat up for awhile. |
