Hello everyone,
It took some time for me to do my first post on this forum where I learned a lot about E Types in the past years and it has helped me to keep my cars running.
I am now rebuilding my 66 OTS, which I took apart 7 years ago an before I bought it, it sat in a shed for probably several decades (if I am successful with posting the picture: it is the opalescent silver blue one) and not only will I have questions but might even be able to contribute to the forum.
Thanks to everybody who is making this forum possible.

Good luck with restoring your car, why not add a topic to the restoration section and ask questions as there is a lot of friendly help out there. Hopefully you’ve already learnt lots as you’ve been a member for many years even if this is your first post.

Thanks for the welcome.
I hope at least the signature works now.
As for the picture, I will have to study the topic: I see the Imgur picture in the preview nd when I look at my post in the forum, but apparently it is not visible to others.
Maybe there is a reason why it took me so long…

I can see the photo now, Daniel. The OTS looks like a long, hard job but I wish you luck with it and interesting to see the other cars you own. They suggest you like the Jaguar Marque!

Thanks for the encouragement. I hope it is not another seven years.
Some pictures I got from the first owner, when I bought it and the current state.

Hello Daniel,

and welcome to the forum :)
Looks like a serious project :shock:

I am living 40km South of Geneva in France so depending where you live in Switzerland maybe we can catch up if you are interested.

Kindly regards
