The 'E' Type Forum

Hello Ralphr1780, For the original color, I don't know, but the black on the tour eiffel, bulkhead and luggage compartment is non original. Hello gsv, thank you for the "january" (I was forgotting the different way of presenting the date) I profit to apologise for the mistakes i'm surely doing in En...

This is a picture of the id plate: http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/frogeater/plaqueidenitification.jpg Taken from this picture: http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/frogeater/PB012580.jpg David, I wouldn't blam the quality of the seller as a photograph because I was worst than him in ta...

Thank you for your message Moeregaard. On the plate, like David show it's written "stat eof California".
I have this picture also (but I don't find on it something useful): it's a copy of the german "vc5"

hello David, Thank you for your answer. I checked the DMV website of california, but didn't find something. My aim with that car would be to drive it some years and wait my retirement to began a strong restoration: I saw the car 15 days ago and this option seems possible. Yes, the view of an USA and...

Hello, The search of my friend goes on and we will go the next week-end to see a car in germany (which is matching numbers). This message this time is for me! I will profit of the next week-end to see this car and already sent some pictures of my austin healey to perhaps find an exchange, part excha...

Damn, you beat me to it! First thing I look at on a chassis plate, was one of the first things I remember Richard showing me about a year ago. Thank you for your intervention, SEjohnson95, I follow your story on this forum :wink: PS, I just took my commission plate which is with me in Paris and "ou...

Thank you David for your expertise! I understand you have fill this: "Also show me cars within ? numbers (only finds cars in same series)" and it seem's effectively sound. I will say him also for the original commission plate. For the moment, it's enough for me; I will post pictures later, if he all...

Hello, I have a close friend who wants to buy an e type ots (I'm not guilty for that :) ) He found a car and will go to visit her, next monday. I try to track the car on xke data but don't succeed: the numbers seems strange... She has to be a series 1, 3,8 ots, in opalescent blue from 1963. She is s...

Hello Steve,
I will be interested too.

. I am beginning to think this car will never be done!!!

Tss, tss. You never be so near of the end of the restoration!

I just checked and the difference is on the red line like David wrote, beetween an e type 4,2 and a mark2 3,4 or 3,8..
The add from eBay is for a mark2.
I will see.....

Thank you very much for your answers, Heuer and Iani.
I will check this evening in my books, for the potential different red lines.

There are no problems, irrespective of ignition system, with camshaft driven tachos Hello I have a 123 iginition fitted, and a serie 2 revcounter; I understand one pos...

Does he mean, because of his son (who break the car when he use it)? :)

Hello Tony, Last year was a big year for the roof in term of frame and tiles. But it's not finished... (in one year I hope to have finished 75% of the roof and make the 25% in 4 years: it's a long terme project :wink: ) This year (2014) will be a good one for the e type... Come and see by yourself o...

Hello Tony,
What a good news!
You must find something (?) for your child because it can't last forever like that: an electrical and a oil problem, that's too much!

Hello, I'm member also of the e type club, but I had 10% from sng uk simply after asking them a commercial effort in prevision of all the parts, I was buying and will buy (I bought from them, for thousands and thousands pounds for the etype) SngFrance had the same position when I came to them, sayin...
