The 'E' Type Forum

Steve, do you mean you haven’t got a spare £5million lying around then
It’ll be good to see your car when it’s on the road. Good luck with getting it finished.

Cheers

Geoff

Could this be worth checking out?

Although the part number may seem incorrect for an E Type it is discussed here:

AussiE why not ask Peter if he's got anything left:-

On the grounds it might be the easiest way to get what you need

Simon, you've noticed the similarity, too?

Meonstoke, thanks for those comments. They are pretty much what I had come across recently that made me ask the question. Your observation of how the XJ6 was originally conceived to be is very interesting: a saloon with genuine sporting credentials, the M5 of the day and could have continued to be i...

David C, are you certain you’ve bought the correct SUs for an E Type as not all will fit?
Why not let us know which you’ve got? May save you problems.

Good luck

Geoff

Little on xkedata.com
Was 778 miles actually 100778, which at 10,000 a year could be so?

What is your association with this car?

Geoff

And being a mainly British membership you'll have to get used to us having fun at our cousins across the pond. Tyres not tires. Labour not labor. Boot not trunk (elephants have trunks!). Bonnet not hood (hoodies, thems wot yoof wear!). All said with tongue firmly in cheek and in friendship :wink: Oh...

Various clubs (JEC, JDC, E Type) will give insurance valuations.

Motorman, good luck with getting that car back on the road. If it has been off the road for so long, then a complete service with new fluids, brake pads, etc. will be most sensible to sort out. Replacing a flexible pipe or two might be needed, too. Say to brake pipes or the clutch slave. Make sure y...

Yes, you don't have to give every detail. If the sad thing happened and your car was stolen then the serial numbers of the car, body, gearbox and engine will be there for the good guys to be aware of if a wrong un gets listed on somewhere like fleabay

Geoff

Well I'm happy to hear further from you Roberto. You'll see that the forum is one of, if not the, friendliest and we are always happy to learn more about your cars and experiences. You seem happy to eat humble pie which has brightened my thoughts of you. Tell us more. Perhaps share a photo or two of...

As the Case for the Prosecution has been presented, can the defendant or his counsel present their case?
Maybe he can present himself in a manner that the jury can appreciate his side and come to agree with him and help?

I tried to do it in one sweep of the cursor, Al Capone style.

Maybe there should be a timer added to see who can shoot them all out the quickest?

More fun than opening Christmas presents

Thanks for your responses. The XJ6/12 seemed to do quite well in saloon car racing and is still good on the track in the vintage classes, which is what inspired my question. Without major changes it must have had good sporty suspension to begin with, yet still glide over potholes. A nice compromise....

Mark - you have to wait until Christmas morning for the smashing lights

Oh dear, have they all been smashed before I got my chance?

Thank you David, Angus and Steve for keeping this forum such a pleasure to read and gain from.


Geoff

Anthony, I've heard of people adding a strip of LEDs into the rear number plate light for the reverse lights. Or you could position a strip above the number plate itself. It might be worth you looking at that to give you a neat solution.

Geoff

I have recently read reports of how comfortable the early XJ6 was/is. Some motoring reporters comparing it very highly against the Rolls Royce of the day but with the advantage of sportier performance. Are there any owners who have/had both an early XJ6 4.2 and an E Type (six cylinder) who would lik...

As David has added the Christmas background let me say: Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous, peaceful New Year. May 2019 be a successful year for restoring and driving your cars. Thank you to one and all for the help, advice and friendship this forum delivers. :thankyouyellow: :santa: :santa:...
