Re: Help in finding E-Type having body# R 1623

Why R 1623? Do you own R 1623 or have this body no tag?

My roadster 875521 is also 8 numbers off VIN plate R 1610 and body tag R 1602...

Re: S1 3.8 FHC

£30K seems less than market value for a promising project but market values are very silly at the moment. I've been struggling to find anything like that near that price. The auctioneers would spray it with dust and sell it for over £50K. If it’s a RHD 61 in that conditions it’s worth £70k+ If it r...

Re: S1 3.8 FHC

Barrie Thanks for the info, I was unaware of the change during flat floor production-every day is a school day as the saying goes :salute: Checking XKE data for engine numbers shows that this change occurred very close to my car's build date. I need to do a return visit soon to get the engine numbe...

It has the early carb linkage assembly and therewith is a Flatfloor if original. Even an early one....

If so, the car is worth more than 30k depending on matching no, VIN/car no., originality of other deteils and parts...

Re: E-type Series 1 3/61 Dated Lubrication Chart - Value?

Even better - I agreed a sale outside ebay with him, when he still asked 449,- as starting price. I paid, he cancelled the auction but money came back the next day. No explanation, no response on my enquiry, nothing.

Condition is anyhow not the best. So I am not that sad....

Re: 3.8 boot badge

Not sure about that.

Generally I tend to agree, but remembering vague that I read somewhere that there have been exceptions?!

Not sure about local specification or any other reason. In any case, it can be found too often to be pure random of an individual modification - imho.

Key question; how is the rest? - dynamo - regulator - cooling fan motor - ignition coil - trunk lid hinges - rear axle: hub carriers, non adjustable hand brake - seat & seat runners - screws & clamps - shocks - matching (not restamped) - original VIN plate and body no tag - gauges, in particular swi...

Re: 850052 - 450.000 GBP - really?

As I have mentioned before How much of that "Fully original" car, is fully original is up for speculation........ From my pov: more or less all cars needed or need restoration and with it comes welding in new panels, a new paint, new leather, etc. And sometimes parts, screws, clamps have been repla...

Re: 850052 - 450.000 GBP - really?

I can’t imagine anyone paying that much! Door armrests/handles?? Shouldn’t the steering wheel be an early type?? Hi Robbiee, this is absolutely correct. In addition: - wrong dash top - wrong cylinder head colour - also wrong (and cheap repro) clutch fluid bottle cap - would be interesting to see wh...

Re: louvered bonnet

Not sure, if I got the conversation right? But welded louvers were of course produced far beyond 875385. This was when the outside bonnet locks stopped. 875458 definitely had originally welded louvers... However I think the question is, if the stamping on the bonnet can be found to be earlier than t...

Maybe another interesting observation from two welded louvers center sections (one supposedly from 875443 - I bought it off the then owner like 3? years ago and it shows the original colour as well as the resprayed one) and another I disassembled just a few days ago.
