The 'E' Type Forum

Thank you Angus and team for showing us your spotless workshop and giving insight to the work you offer. It was a good opportunity to meet great people and great cars. Thanks. You also did quite well on the weather!

Just came across a BBC article on classic car business. Might be of interest for one or the other:

Classic car industry fears Trump and Brexit roadblock http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47525435

What a great plan for initiating such a group. A shame some some have nothing more positive to share. Whilst some are willing to add time and effort to better things, would others not so inclined just refrain from bashing in this thread especially and the forum in general.

So the BBC just had this:

Europe changes gear over speed limits on country roads

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-47042291

Today I read 7640 km of the Autobahn have a speed limit, 18150 km do not. Surely feels the other way around, here in southern Germany.

Carsten if you call up TUV Sued, Mr. Gerst, they‘ll send off a Datenblatt in the mail. IIRC about 120€. They will need your car number. They have all kinds of Automobilia they access to compile the details. I understand the data in their document is binding for all TUV‘s. I had a problem with that i...

Carsten, here an excerpt of my Datenblatt showing tyre dimensions demanded, with wheels being either steel or spokes, 6x15. They show an alternate tyre size 205/70R15 78V, these will be checked for free spinning, also in reverse. They did check my my tires, I have Michelin XVS. I believe my rims to ...

...freezing solid when I rolled out to leave the autobahn. Carsten

You should have kept going :)

Media buzz is more persistant than in the past regarding a general speed limit on the Autobahn. Today only a fraction of the stretches remain without a limit, these might soon be doomed. Increasing pressure from enviromentalists, backed by questionable EU pollutant limits, gives the discussion a bro...

Carsten, in preparation for Tuev, have you aquired a Datenblatt yet? They definitely have a say on the tyre dimension, they may decide to put on a dimension for the wheels as well. What I want to say is up front I would talk the wheel set through with your local Tuev-Ingenieur doing the road test, a...

Patrick,

you might want to reconsider having your address public. You can edit your post, and give the address as a private message if the need arises.

Now that went faster than I had expected for #2 and #3.

Welcome to the forum Patrick! Nice to see a new member from near Stuttgart :) What car have you aquired - any pic‘s?

...Will it put another owner on the car? and will this affect its value in any way?... If it was me buying your car I would pay a premium for it knowing you had it registered and driven it for 2000 miles and taken care of anything not just right after assembly (that could be a many of small things ...

What was the emission stuff...

what you said above.

...dispatch date 14 September 1970 to Jaguar Leyland New York. Don Don, my S2 OTS P2R14186 was shipped on the same 14 September! I believe the HC states a mfg date in April, I’d have to doublecheck that. Mine has all the 2R insignia. The so called 1971 Model had the chrome surround, the leapers, an...

David, may I ask - what is OSD?
