Difficult to say. Would be pretty priceless in terms of sentiment, though.

No, but did see a black E3 - so clean you could eat your dinner off it - on display at the Donington Show in October last.

I seem to remember reading someone's claim that there are supposed to be only about 35 E3s left working in the UK

Wot would one of these be worth restored then??? If I do go ahead with buying it I doubt I would sell it but still nice to know.

They are rare nowadays - we were fortunate to see one at our last meet which looked lovely. On a nicer note though - possibly a bit overpriced:

I love the sight of one of these

So tempted but I already have too many old BMs.  And I already have 2 E3 to hopefully make one good one!

I know it's not a coupe, but how sad to see one of these majestic lovelies in this condition:
