    That car looks very smart.
    I havent seen for a long time, it used to have an awful aftermarket steering wheel in it.

    It looks like it has a new roof and possibly wheels?

    They do look a bit of an after thought compared to the Series 1 E-Types!

    That looks like a HE.

    There was a guy in Sligo running a cattle lorry HE up until about 3 years ago. Had a nasty experience with it doing a rear centre bolt.

    Afaik he still has it but she is parked now. Think the engine finally gave up the ghost.

    The cab had a lovely finish inside.

    Its either a KL or KB,The HE had a much higher cab

    It's a KR according to Cartell.

    Pictures of HE's are hard to come by.
    My Dad had a 334 and a 336 but I have no pics.:(

    The black E-Type is stunning. Anyone know the history with it !

    I agree about the rear lamps of the latery E-Types, they just look so wrong, and the faired in front lights were far nicer too.................but I wouldn't complain !

    :D

    As usual, we have to thank our American friends for these 'tasteful modifications' ;). The rear lights were sourced in the general parts bin... you also find them on S4 Lotus Elan and Europa's...

    I'm not sure who owned it from new.
    I knew it to be owned for many years by Edmond Cassidy, I think he passed it on to Des Cullen.

    I remember this car many years ago, I spotted it and a white one ????IK in a yard off Merrion Square. Traced the owner who was Louis Murray (night club owner & hotellier). He owned both. Tried to buy at the time but the price was too high

    No Cassidy of Cesco- you see the name alot on hand driers in pubs, it stands for Cassidy Electrical Supply Company.

    They are heavily involved in historic car racing.
