It handles too!
The driving report
Amongst many connoisseurs, this exact model is now regarded as the most desirable "E" Type of all. It has the pure beauty of earlier cars, but with a more flexible engine, and far more user-friendly brakes and gearbox. It also possesses a rarity, because it was in production for less than 3 years.
Rarer still are original matching numbers RHD coupes such as this one (many were exported). It has covered a genuine 88,000 miles from new, and is now in tip-top mechanical order.
The combination of genuine rock-solid provenance supported by a beautiful history file, and absolutely correct set-up, distinguish this car. Oil pressure is spot-on for an early(ish) XK engine, and uprated cooling fan and Coopercraft front brake calipers inspire confidence. The suspension is also spot-on, which means it handles too!
