By pairing a novel subframe with raceproven powerplants, it set the definitive benchmark for the modern sports car. In its purest Series 1 form, the EType is widely considered one of the most beautiful cars ever created. The FixedHead Coupe (FHC) variant, in particular, is prized for its rare blend of daily usability and a truly dynamic driving experience.The later 4.2litre Series 1 models are especially desirable, offering significant mechanical refinements and increased torque. Beyond its staggering top speed, the 4.2 is celebrated for its composure; with independent suspension and disc brakes all round, it provides a level of handling confidence and comfort that was years ahead of its time.This 1965 4.2litre FHC comes to market after almost 9 and a half years with our vendor, it is a genuine UKmarket example and represents an ideal starting point for a restoration. A matchingnumbers car in a classic colour scheme, it benefits from having the majority of the sheet metal work already finished.
