The 'E' Type Forum

Not sure about the second photo but the first shows the new tag partly on epoxy base coat prior to spraying primer

Thanks Steve I think it’s very important...there’s a lot of “wool pulling” goes on in the classic car world. I really appreciate the honest advice one gets on this forum..a real credit to the organisers! I’m a hospital Consultant too so being open and candid is ALWAYS the best way(especially when on...

Thanks for your understanding
I hope some things got aired anyway

Hi Chaps I have massive apology to make to you all I dug out my heritage cert and the engine number is in fact R 4096-9 ..so I misread it!!! I’m really sorry to have wasted your precious time Actually it’s very reassuring that the crank stamping matches the block so that’s good news all round. Many ...

Hi Yes the number is not obscured, just the last digit is hard to read New picture frame..old one v rusted Lived in a barn for 35 years No Reg number Body number and Gear box and car colour unmistakably match and are correct Robbie The boys at Butlins classic cars were sure the block number is a 6 n...

Yes that’s my impression..but the number does seem to be the same as the crank number! I’ll try the graphite but maybe contact jag heritage to check the number I think it’s best to get it sorted and above board as I wouldn’t want to be guilty of having a fraudulent number! I don’t think the engine n...

Body number tag in place and matching ...corresponding with handwritten number on back of both halves of dashboard. Original colour correct (OSG) Original trim correct (Tan) Gearbox number correct and original and matching Chassis number good and matching Just the final numeral on engine/crank That ...

Good question...completely disintegrated over time sitting in a barn

Head has been replaced in the distant past, no number

Thanks
I’m not sure what the best thing to do is?
Do I contact Jag Heritage and get them to recheck the register to see if perhaps the number was badly written/misread/unclear??
Any views?
Anyone else seen this ?

Hi all Advice required please just dismantling my March 1962 RHD 3.8 OTS engine for rebuild Engine number is hard to make out on block but I read it as R 4095-9 although the 5 is hard to make out clearly! This is what is on the heritage certificate. The crank has R4096 stamped on one end I looked at...

Looks great...might use it as a reference for mine!
I was going to mention the carb float chamber overflow pipes too...much easier to fit now. They should gather together under a flat p clip mounted on the oil filter base

Caveat Emptor

Blimey...it’s not even a RHD car!!!!!
My RHD UK March 62 OTS was £45,000 3 yrs ago(intact and matching but now undergoing restoration ground up..as intended)
