100% recommendation for Kiley Clinton in Birmingham. I had 2 V12 racks rebuilt, excellent service from a family business.
Roger and Oliver really know their subject and have always offered me a cup or tea when visiting.
Kind regards
Nick

Re: Chassis straightening
Hi Bill & Richard,
Thank you for your very helpful replies.
I wanted to add the gussets to ensure the correct appearance.
Seems strange to me that Mr Robey has omitted this feature from the repro panels.
Excellent that I now have a solution.
Thanks again
Nick

Re: Chassis straightening
Hi Richard, Your photos reminded of a question I have regarding replacement Martin Robey floors. On the original floors there are 6 indents spaced along the length of the floor. These are missing from the replacement floors. Has anyone made a tool to replicate the indents? Or come up with a differen...

Mine looks original but in poor condition. I hope the photos help you. Kind regards Nick https://...

Re: e type Series 3 1972 OEM Steering Rack Value
Hi SNG only seems to offer a refurbishment service for £468.00 but this is on an exchange basis. The Jag Shop has a listing for used LHD Racks for £850.00 but from the photos, these would need to be reconditioned and are out of stock. David Manners & Martin Robey only offer a reconditioning service ...

Re: Series3 LHD to RHD conversion - DIY task?
Hi I have a 1972 LHD e type and would be very interested in exchanging LHD parts for RHD parts. Dash Pannels, steering rack, etc etc. I’m not in any hurry, do get in touch if you are interested in exchanging parts.

Harry’s Garage V12 professional rebuild
It’s not quite e type but I enjoyed Harry Metcalf’s XJ 12 Coupe V12 rebuild and discussion with a Jaguar expert.

Re: Black flag, or half mast?
My first Good Revival was 2008, a fabulous weekend with friends. I stayed at The Goodwood Hotel. One of the highlights was Murray Walker and Stirling Moss chatting while having breakfast together at the table next to mine. It felt surreal. They were then two elderly gentleman, obviously old pals, en...

Hi John, I would also be interested in a basic explanation of the engine management systems. Ive read a lot on this excellent forum but would welcome a ‘ladybird book’ on how the vacuum system works.

Re: Haynes V12 manual
Hi Darren, I don’t think Haynes produced an e type V12 manual, I’ve looked but not found one.
I picked up a copy of the Jaguar Daimler V12 manual and a copy of a period Jaguar V12 engine manual.
Not sure which side of the bet you’re on, I wish you good luck.
Happy new year
Nick

Re: Classic Motoring Magazines.
As an S3 2+2 owner, I've always felt at the bottom of the pecking order in e type circles.
Having said that one day my pile of bits in the garage will emerge as a beautiful swan (even if you have to pick your angle to view the car at its best).

I’ve certainly enjoyed The Crown, including all the beautiful cars and street scenes. I’ve often wondered if all of these ‘props’ sit in a large warehouse somewhere under common ownership or if individual owners make their cars available to the film and TV industry. I imagine that one could place a ...
