The 'E' Type Forum

Of course

Hi I've been routing through old photos today and come across one I took out of the back window of my Dad's Renault 12TS en-route to Cornwall in about 1980 when I was not even into my teens! It's of a blue S2 registered 3WBJ. According to DVLA that number now belongs to a Mitsubishi. I wondered if a...

Also search for 'Aerotight', 'Binx', 'Steel lock' and 'Steel insert lock' nuts.

What is the actual difference in flywheel weights between the two?

I think the point here is anomalies pop up - such as my car. FHC - 860868 without the cutaway behind the seat and the early seats. It has a really low by number stamped onto the rear number plate panel (about 130 ish). Registered November '62. I suspect the car sat around somewhere for some time pri...

Just do what's easiest for you based on the insight you've gained so far. I'm appreciative of whatever you need to do to keep the forum going.

Thank you.

Love the 'similar topics' feature - thank you

Just a big thank you to David for the unseen work to make this happen. About 10 / 8 years ago when I was looking for an E-Type forum there was nothing to read and I just stuck with my Triumph and Land Rover forums that were well attended. It was only a month or so ago that I looked again and found t...

A's you said - clearing my browsing history has cleared it.

Thanks

Has been doing this for me for a while now. Usually opens on the second attempt?

Edit - why did I say that? Loads won't open for me tonight. Grrrr.

I presume it's RD not LD (righthand drive not lefthand drive)

I stand completely corrected! However, I guess were TLAs too prior to them becoming 'recognised' words.

Good call.

LOL - a TLA (three letter acronym!) surely should derive from three words not two. No wonder I couldn't work it out!

Bet it's lovely your LE (LWE) :D

Thank you Michael, that explains it; the early body number being the true reference to creation rather than the chassis number. I'm pretty sure the bonnet that came with the car wasn't original to the car - based on colours. But it was too far gone to rescue even if it was. When I took the rear axle...

Pity it's not right!

My car also had the 'converted' OTS to FHC doors with the leaded in panel.

As I say, it must have sat around a while before the shell was used and the chassis number issued.

Hi. Interestingly I own 860868 - owned it for 30 years. The floors on mine are flat and the rear bulkhead is flat. I was the first person to remove the rotten floors and replace them. It also took some searching to find rear lights that fitted the contours of the shell as it is a different shape (lo...
