    Einige weitere Fragen zum E-Type: Wie ist der Zustand der Bodenbleche und des vorderen Hilfsrahmens (Rost?)? Ist das Fahrzeug unfallfrei? Mir ist aufgefallen, dass das Türschloß links fehlt - Tür des Nachfolgemodells?

      Hallo, der Unterboden ist hervorragend, keine erkennbaren Schweissarbeiten oder Druchrostungen Unfallfreiheit kann nicht garantiert werden, es ist aber weder etwas bekannt noch ersichtlich. Zum Türschloss kann leider ebenfalls keine Aussage getroffen werden - der Besitzer kennt die Geschichte des Fahrzeugs erst seit ca. 2012, da war der optische Zusatnd bereits so.

      Guten Tag, ich habe einige Fragen zu E-Type: Hatte das Auto original ein Automatik-Getriebe (da jetzt mit Overdrive ausgestattet).?
