Glorious! I hope to have one of these when I grow up. In 1975 I had a newspaper route, and one of the residents in the apartment community on my route had a V12 E-Type. Every morning I would stop and stare at it. Rain or shine, in darkness or in sunrise, the ritual never got old. They represent, in my humble opinion, the pinnacle of automotive styling and design. The color scheme and details on this model are stunning. \r\nBest of luck to the seller, and I hope the purchaser gets a lot of road time with this beautiful ride.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1664973950, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9698614, "authorName": "Dan219", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/dan219/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Personally, I find the light grey interior a chromatic mistake, but that aside this E Type is absolutely stunning.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1664976228, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9698827, "authorName": "robbieh20", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/robbieh20/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "A lovely car.
