I am fed up of these so called experts mis informing the general public with their complete lack of knowledge. As you correctly say the red vehicle featured is a series 2 not a series 1 and indeed no E-Type ever had a walnut interior. Thank heaven that some people understand these things ! Thank you Stuart.

Then in 1975 I became the very proud owner of a 1968 series 1,1/2, in gorgeous Carmen Red, with black leather, the car had only 26,000 miles on the clock and was stunning. The biggest regret of my life was selling that car, no, not particularly for it,s value, just the fact that from a personal point of view it was " The most beautiful car" I have ever owned. If someone offered me one last wish before I hang up my driving gloves regarding a car I would love again before I die, then I guess you will know what I would choose, nothing else comes close...., and I mean nothing ! Young and foolish spring,s to mind ! Amen.

I think you will find that E-Types never had any wood in their interiors. As for it being the campest car ever made, I think you should take a look at an Austin Metropolitan for that. The E-Type is a design icon, it is not camp. Best E-Type is a Series 1 FHC in pale metallic blue. Just a few comments
