    Much of his stuff is refinished. He is careful, apparently, not to call obvious redials "original", but he doesn't always point them out, either.

    Serious collectors would be unlikely to shop at his store...

    Since I'm not searching in the US, I haven't seen this seller before. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rare-35-5...353139?hash=item1c78000b73:g:~2AAAOSw0w9YVMvsPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network. Technically this is the original dial as stated. It's also a pretty misleading bit of weasel-wordery, given that it's been (horrendously) refinished but the unwary and inexperienced might still believe it left the factory like this. Not cool!

    @Edward53 - Given theres 24 people watching that auction, there is a high probability someone is going to get taken...

    Nice Series 1 E-Type FHC. A 3.8?. I had a Carmen Red '64 3.8 for 9 years, also had a '65 S1 OTC but that was a 4.2. Great cars.

    I find buying cars far less of a minefield than buying Vintage watches...

    Very nice. The XK engine is a piece of art, especially the early 60's version.
