The 'E' Type Forum

Excellent PR by JLR and an E type at that. Most watching wouldn't know it was electric - it does make the brand and E types a talking point and hopefully as an owner make resale prices stronger when the time comes to say goodbye. Well done Harry for accepting Jaguar's offer over the many others that...

Thanks Steve.

Thanks Steve. Did you buy them or make them yourself?

They look simple enough to make out of a sheet of stainless steel or aluminium.

Cheers,

Just wanted to clarify on this subject of door drain outlets. If you fit them, do you still need to cut the cill rubber seal adjacent to door drain in the door?

Secondly, if you just cut the rubber, can you get away from not fitting the outlets?

Thanks,

Brilliant. I wish I was that creative. There's a hint of comic book illustration that I really like.

Do you take commissions?

Hi All, My wife and I are going to Goodwood on Friday 8th and I've been looking to find paddock passes. Prices on ebay are crazy, especially as we will only use them for about a couple of hours at the most. I therefore wondered if anyone who is going on 8th and who is lucky enough to have passes to ...

Well done Steve. I did notice the green change to your username. Many thanks for the help on and off line you have shown me - you are truly generous with your time and advice. A big thank you from me

Chris,

Many thanks I know what I' will be doing this weekend

I too have bought but not fitted one of these. Doe anyone have any close up pictures of a successful install?

I used Mansfield Radiators near Mansfield. Recored using a more efficient centre, ended up like brand new.

The owner specializes in older cars and had other Jaguar and Aston rads in for recorring.

Cost £300.

Easy to find using Google.

Why don't you polish the ribbed ones. They can look mighty fine once done and just as eye catching as the smooth ones.
Obviously I'm biased

Anyone go to the JEC e type forum day in Ravenshead, Notts? I was there from 11.00am to 12.30pm. Great time and lots if e types and other classics. Five miles from me and did not know it was on! David, It was mentioned to me by a friend of Julian Bowen, who was hosting the event at his house and ga...

I'm sure I've seen this V12 with trailer at the Bourne classic car show in Lincolnshire a few years ago. Owned by a older gent if I remember right.

It was the only e type at the show and my wife commented that it was the prettiest car on display. This helped convince her that I needed one!

Little known gem of an event in the East Midlands. I went last year and thoroughly enjoyed it and will be going this year as well. Check it out - this makes for a very nice Sunday outing.

I recommend keeping two accounts of spend going.......one for the wife and the real one

Malcolm,

Forgive my ignorance but did you have to carry out any mods before using the LR50 battery?

Cheers,

Hi, My restorer is struggling with rubber seals for the rear screen, doors and sills. He has purchased replacements from Barratts but they are not right. Can anyone recommend a source that is reliable? He mentioned that he had heard that Jaguar Heritage had faced similar problems now that they have ...

I will report back to the retailer and ask for a refund. In the meantime I've sourced a new original part from an old stock of spares. Hopefully this should fit as it carries the same makers marks and part numbers as my broken original. Fingers :fingerscrossed: And thanks for all your help :bigrin:

Hi, I'm replacing the rear E Type boot badge as my original snapped when being removed prior to being resprayed. I have purchased a replacement (BD 27666) from one of the usual outlets and have discovered that the pin holes do not line up :questionmarks: . The pin by the "E" is just over 1-1.5 mm of...
