Thanks for the extra background. I love learning about classic cars. I had to look hard to find images on the internet of an E-Type with
plastic bumpers. Ouch. I'm guessing that's the first thing to go when one gets restored.
Such a beautiful car. This was a 1968 model I saw at Barrett-Jackson a few years ago (pictures with SMC Takumar 55/1.8). It sold for $33,000.
Another Leyland product for you, from the same auction (1970 Morris Minor pickup, $13,200).
Oh, there was a Sprite there, too! Curb weight 1,318 lb according to Google.
