Lucky brother. He’s got his pension sorted as the owner of a Etype better than money in the bank.
Enjoy.

Looks to be a beautiful car to own, drive and show
I believe the peak has long passed for investment (although who knows if and when it will return) They have been dropping over the last 8 years. I'd not say 'no' to one if I could afford it, but not a money maker now.

From Haggerty:
In the 1980s, the concept of the classic car emerged, and the E-Type began its rise to collectable prominence. Throughout that decade, right up to the mid 2000s, specialist magazines showed values gradually rising. When the UK Hagerty Price Guide was launched, in January 2012, we noted that an ‘#2 Excellent example’ was worth £71,600, although at that point we didn’t differentiate between flat floor models and standard cars. By 2014 this had more than doubled and by March 2016, it peaked at £186,000. In the last few years, the market as a whole has corrected, and prices have dropped. In our April 2020 figures, values of the same car fell to around £135,000. By this March, the average value of a Series 1 roadster in #2 Excellent condition stands at £121,500, the coupe about 25 per cent less.

2014 MY 3.0 V6S Roadster
Subtle enhancements to create the car I wanted from SVR nose cone, 400 series side skirts & customised 'design' rear bumper, to heated SVR steering wheel and more

That’s what he’s told his wife, time will tell I guess!

I’d say that’s about spot on, he’s being very coy about what he paid, but I know his budget was £80-£90k and he tells me it’s a very good example, but not quite perfect
