Hello Osgii, congratulations to you and your wife ! I am sure they will understand as they will grow with it. Start purchasing E-Type toys /models and then share moments with/in the E as soon as you can. I did not start as early with my boys (they were 8 and 12,5) but they helped in some restoration...

Hello and welcome Jim!

great addition to your other cars with the E !
I am sure you will find great support on the forum with many experiences and skilled passionate E owners.

Hello Simon, it would be interesting indeed if you could compare your "old" speakers with mine. I agree with your comments on the radio-tape player, I did not mean period/original as early 70's , but more vintage model. And yes the design and LCD is more probably around 80's. Mmmh, I now need to set...

hello, my October 1972 SIII was fitted (an still is ) with the following radio-tape player, which I believe is a period one, most probably fitted by the dealer. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P7rzsK56rCs/UGswBiYVTjI/AAAAAAAADdE/q_9B5QDtZ5k/s640/DSC03219.JPG the speakers are hidden behind a grill...

Hello Angus,

I am sure she is looking forward to it also. You both will enjoy the moment, for sure. It is a unique moment. I am sure you remember your's also.

well the first time you drove an E-Type 8)... Mine was back in November 2001 when I started looking for an E-Type : it was a silver S1,5 2+2. I was with 8 years old boy Olivier. It was a nice car and very exciting first impressions drive. There were some concerns with the start of the car, some big ...

Many thanks to you also Harry for providing this excellent forum ! and of course to our unique moderators :D

Merry Christmas to you all and Very Best Wishes for 2012 indeed !

And apparently he received extra support from Jaguar this year

Jaguar Cars Limited has recognised Mr Claus? plight, and have therefore provided him with a pre-production estate version of its popular XF.

Same over here now :cry: We have snow and salt on the roads since Friday evening. I had my last drive last WE on Sunday : cold outside but dry roads, took the E out for a stretch but after 15 minutes came onto a road where the local authority did spray the road with a lot of salt, so drove back home...

hello Paul I believe the Belgian Motor Company of Bruxelles /Brussels in Belgium was the holding company importing Jaguars in this period and so most probably the main Jaguar dealer in Belgium .If Jagaur Belgium still has records (I woudl have doubt about it ) of this period they may help. Otherwise...

Neil, fantastic indeed !
thanks for sharing .

Hello Neil

welcome to the forum. Lovely car indeed and nice colour combination.
Mine is also from 1972 (October) and first owner was in Canada (UC1S73843BW on xkedata).

A pity. Hopefully you got/will get rain to wash the salt and be able to driev the E again before next year. No salt and no snow yet over here (South of Belgium) . November was very dry and in fact we had rain yesterday (more in one day than over the month ...). Just took the E for an hour drive as t...

Congratulations Simon ! you car looks really great and now you will enjoy many miles and smiles ! drive it and enjoy 8)

The Russ book is great indeed and very well detailed and illustrated.
I am glad I found one on ebay several years ago when still at a normal price. Will keep it 8) who knows it will go on and get more value at E 60

Hello Michel first of all, welcome to the E-Type ownership, and best wishes for your restoration. You certainly can get great support and advices with the knowledge and skills of many members of this forum. Regarding your car history, if you ares ure the car comes from Florida you may want to contac...

thank you, nice videao...look forward to the rest of all the E-Types

So what better than taking us back to the dimly-remembered French lessons of our youth, when the E-type was in production and it was a Stones/Beatles shoot-out in the pop charts every few weeks? on our side it was learning English and also listening to the Beatles, the Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin...
