1 prior owner in 25 years. 44k mi. Service manager where it went for maintenance & repair said the 1st owner treated it like it was his child. Has a couple of typical issues. Front spring mounts need attention and steering wheel adjustment servos are klunky. Dreaded timing chain tensioners already upgraded. At 77, my biggest challenge is getting into and out of it.😆. But its worth it!

At our age, thank your lucky stars you don't have a FHC Series1 E-Type, eh?
Cheers and best wishes,
