S3 ots with4 litre supercharged engine and a 5 speed box thank you.

BAS. Have overcome the problem of cars being supplied without this bar, speak to Jack and he will enlighten.

Sorry for coming late to the party, whilst the draft legislation implied power increases as a fail for historic changes the final version was reduced to the following which is a cut and paste from the government website…. “Alternative cubic capacities of the same basic engine and alternative origina...

It appears to have pressing and bolt holes for internal bonnet locks, does this help to identify age, ie not before xx1961?

It appears the series is a concours classic car show, Mini Cooper, Hornet, Herald, MGBs, Granada, Capri and of course the S3 E. my only observation is…..they are all too clean, they look like trailer queens. Still, not a bad series.

Reading your question, rhd S1 cars had all 3 together in front of the driver with the clutch bottle nearest the wing, RHD S2 cars had a clutch and brake bottle in front of the driver and the second brake bottle above the passengers knees. LHD cars had the bottles mounted on a heat shield to the left...

Just read somewhere of a company fitting a 6 speed auto to a S3 e type.

If still looking for a screen fitter in Surrey I have used Old School Windscreens, near Chobham. Excellent service.

I have had similar on my 3.8. The cause was the top master cyl, feeding the rear brakes was not recuperating. This meant the brakes would bind on and slow the car whilst trying to make progress.

I have a fully rebuilt 67 e type engine built to stage 2 spec with a fully rebuilt S2 gearbox attaches all ready to drop in. If interested pm me.

There is a chap in U.K. compiling a register of 3.8 rhd FHC, his name is Gary Oxley and he is on Facebook, I am sure he would love to hear from you. He has stats for about 43% of the cars made.

Didn’t clock they were new, good shout reference slippage

Really sounds like TB are on the wrong side

Something I have heard recently with very favourable comments is dry ice blasting which is much kinder to the car panels than other mediums. Also due to the process doesn’t leave a mess of medium behind, I believe there are mobile operators who can carry the work out on your site if you have the spa...
