Our new arrival finally is home
Our "new" '73E sunroof coupe just arrived at home a short while ago. The trip was uneventful. My wife, Lu. drove "her" E home while I tagged along in the support vehicle. She enjoyed the drive except for the uncomfortable sport seats. Now before you guys flood me with emails asking to take them off of our hands,
 , I'll probably just try to get them restuffed to improve the lumbar support. Here's a teaser pic...

YEA!! Congrats, Jim and Lu. Can't wait to see it in person! And DO NOT get rid of the sport seats. Get'em fixed.
Have Fun.

Nice hunting Jim - she looks like a beauty, even more so with Lu at the wheel I'm sure.
So come on ........ MORE PICS PLEASE!

Jim, just wanted to let you know that no amount of upholstery work can make those awful sport seats comfortable. I will, however, out of the kindness of my heart be willing to trade you for the proper and ever so comfy stock seats I have.
 Love the color. Burgandy is so nice on an early car. Good find. Congrats, Bobby |

Congrats Jim! I know the search was long, but it looks like it paid off. Now, how about some details and more photos .........
RE: sport seats?? Is the padding worn out in the lumbar area or what? Mine are quite comfortable although a tad narrow in the thigh area. -- Curt |

Nice score, Jim. I have always loved aubergine. Appears to be a tan interior w/ darker colored seats(?) Cork did not come along until years later, possibly '78/9?

Thanks all! It's aubergine with russet (brown) interior. The PO had tried to dye the sport seats to take care of some worn spots and got the color a bit too dark. Instead of redoing them in russet, we're toying with going to a black interior. Jury's still out on that, though. I'll try to shoot a few more pics tomorrow when there's light.
Regards,

Jim and Lu--
Congratulations. Looks like a beaut. But what's that dark, heavy mass in the foreground?

It's the 993. I'm stuck with it, as Lu has claimed the E for herself.

Now, Marc. You don't want Jim and Lu fighting over who gets to drive the 'E', do you?
