Its nice to see how many 'youngsters' own 350's - good luck to them. I guess an E-Type was the one everyone in my age group in the sixties aspired to - fortunately I got to drive one froom time to time owned by the garage boss where I worked evenings/weekends and who allowed me to use the workshop to help keep my road/off-road Beetle going:
I'm a little bit older than Colin ... my first "nice car" was a 1964 Mk 4 Sunbeam Rapier bought for £450.00 in 1968 ... WGR 239 ... I was 22 and armed with a degree in Civil Engineering, married and the wife was expecting our first child ... the car was eventually sold a couple of years later for £350.00 to provide the deposit on our first house ... happy days
PS I finally got an E-type when I was 28 ... bought for £2800.00, sold in 1977 for £2000.00
