Re: E-type owner looking for a Gen 1 Liftback

Hi Trev Probably a fair price in view of the mileage , however the issue is its an ST , would need an upgrade to 18r-g , these engines are making £1000 an d then you have got to change it, Also over the gt the St has no close ratio gearbox, or limited slip diff , inferior interior and reduced speci...

Re: E-type owner looking for a Gen 1 Liftback

Hi Malcolm

Really useful info on both posts. I will try and give you a call this week as it would be good to have a quick chat with and ask a few questions. Also if you hear of any register members wanting to sell their cars then please keep me in mind

Re: E-type owner looking for a Gen 1 Liftback

Hi trev Expect to pay £15k for a decent uk 28 lift back if you can find one. Must be gt with 18r-g twin cam engine as the st is underpowered and won't run on unleaded.

Re: E-type owner looking for a Gen 1 Liftback

Welcome, Trev. That is a seriously sexy automobile you got..... :drool: Getting a Liftback should not be too difficult, though it may take some time, as they do get more rare. If you don't mind a LHD, there are still a few available on the continent. Anyway, good luck with the search, keep's inform...
