The 'E' Type Forum

We clearly all have a different view on what an Etype is! Personally I love the handling and drive of an early 3.8 and To me the point of having/driving an old car is to enjoy the experience of an old car. The Eagle “kit cars” and other etypes redesigned to drive “like a modern car” are absolutely f...

Yes...mine has everything but the flywheel stamped! I was rather delighted to see the engine number on the crank !

They are a bit fat !

Hi
I need a couple of the ones I believe Marek was producing.
Is he still doing them

Robbie

Happy new year to all Can anyone advise as to what this little bracket is for? Could it be to rivet a heat shield to ??? I think I’ve seen it on photos in various books but it’s never explained It has a couple of rivets on one end Thanks Robbie https://i.postimg.cc/wM6pB9sC/2-C0-D196-B-BE1-A-4-F36-8...
