I sold the car 1974 to a guy who had an E type
He was impressed with how quick it was on the tight twisty roads of the Peak District
I think it got destroyed shortly after that, I’ve been looking for the last 40 years
Never shown up on the Gov website MOT check
I also had a Nerus 997 Cooper 697 EWX that there’s no trace of
Any of you guys know of it ?
