This Series 1 4.2 litre E Type is, in our humble opinion, just about as good as they get.

It has been the subject of a ground up, bare metal, nut and bolt restoration carried out by experts who do this for a living - Classic Connection of Burley, Hampshire.

The investor for whom they were doing the restoration work had about £147,000 of skin in the game by the time the car was restored to its current condition.

The car was manufactured on the 15.11.66 and first registered on 1.1.67, which makes it one of the last Series 1 4.2 models to roll off the production line. As you know, proximity to the end of a production run is usually considered a good thing in car terms as it tends to suggest that much of the initial snagging has been done.

The car has been restored in various ways in 1999, 2000 and 2004. The engine was overhauled in 2007 and again during the recent restoration. At some point in its history, a 5-speed Getrag gearbox was fitted.

Fans of authenticity will be pleased to hear that an original spec 4-speed box was sourced from America (from a Mr. Crook, who thankfully failed to live up to his name).

The current restoration work was undertaken around four years ago.

Classic Connection's restoration has addressed every inch of the car, mechanically, structurally, aesthetically – inside, outside and underneath. As much as possible of the original car has been retained, refurbished, refreshed and resurrected rather than renewed.

The floor pan has been replaced and the car boasts Cooper Craft brakes and a stainless steel exhaust system.

Apart from that, it's just as the good folk at Browns Lane intended, only better screwed together and effectively brand new.

It is a joy to look at, sit in and drive.

We have taken it for a spin and can report that it starts on the button, goes and stops as it should and is all you could wish for from a properly sorted Series 1 4.2 coupé.

To all intents and purposes, this is a showroom-fresh car.

It is unblemished, unmarked and, for the last 4 or so years, pretty much unused. The odometer reads 63 miles (or something like that) since the engine was overhauled and the dials replaced, and we reckon we've done about half of them.
