Dave Ashworth Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 There is also one coming up in Bonham's sale of 29th April at Hendon. Estimate £20 - £25K It would be nice to play with one of those. All the best, Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Here's the link - looks a bit down in the mouth but still special as an Italia and extra-special being 001 and retaining at least most of the original features. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20926/lot/372/ Most of the cars listed seem greatly over-priced to me, but then I'm not in touch with UK prices. The estimate for the Italia seems reasonable, though, but I suspect it will fetch more. For anyone who wants something a bit different, try this http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20926/lot/343/ AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I rebuilt one of those early cars many years ago (Chassis No 75) and they are quite a bit different to the later production ones, Struggled to get in it though due to the flat floors and me being 6ft 4" Stuart.

Trigbush Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Here you go Stuart - one for you http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20927/lot/205/?page_anchor=r1%3D197%26m1%3D1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Harvey Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Stuart's early E Type made over £100k at auction this week, unlike the Triumph Italia which failed to reach the reserve (did it get a bid at all anyone?) 'Barn Find' is the new 'must have' for collector's. So much so that there seem to be lot's more turning up all the time...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its always been the case that good "Barn finds" have made strong money in relation to restored cars. It doesnt surprise me that the E type made that sort of money being one of the few very early ones left. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
