A FULLY RESTORED vehicle can be a wonderful thing, but there’s a certain allure to a 50-year old car that remains, by and large, as it left the factory. This turquoise Series 3 E-type is one of those incredible timewarp examples, having covered just 19,800 miles from new. It was picked up by a private collector in 2014 and ‘sympathetically rejuvenated’, which means that mechanicals have been fully worked through ‘to aircraft standards’. Bodily it is said to retain the vast majority of its factory paintwork, with all trim and interior parts original, too. Further cars from the same seller – The Merlin Collection – will be offered in the same sale, where it’s estimated at £80,000-100,000. handh.co.uk
