An Eagle Engineered Grand Touring E-Type Coupe

A desirable coupe re-engineered by us to an ideal Grand Touring specification.

We have known this coupe for many years and we conducted a bare metal re-finish to our usual high standards in 1995. It remains in wonderful condition and has been cherished and well maintained since then. In 1995 it had covered a mere 48,000 miles and today it shows only 71,766 miles.

This E-Type was originally supplied here in the UK and remains in the same favoured colour combination, of Opalescent Light Blue with Dark Blue leather, with which it passed the factory gates in 1968.

It is one of the last series 1's to be manufactured and, as such, sports open headlamps and many of the mechanical and electrical improvements that were soon to be introduced on the Series 2 E-Type's. As a UK supplied 'Series 1 1/2' it is not only very rare but maintains the lovely early details that include the toggle switch dash panel and the earlier door panel style.

We converted it to left drive in 2012 for its new home in Austria and we can convert back to its original right drive if required.

The specification is comprehensive and can be seen listed in full by clicking on the specification button above. It includes our 5 speed gearbox, ultimate suspension dampers and we fully rebuilt and upgraded the engine a short mileage ago.

EVO magazine featured this car when they took it to Geneva re-living the 1961 launch drive. It is also features in much of the Eagle literature and website after a photo session with top motoring photographer, James Lipman and we chose this coupe because it looks so fabulous. All the images are available to the new owner and are of a quality that an entire garage wall sized print could be produced if so wished.

It really is a perfect and elegant touring coupe.

Every E-Type we sell can be converted to left or right hand drive, and can also benefit from our world-renowned Eagle upgrades. Learn about the Eagle Difference here.
