Hi everyone,

i'm Olivier, you can write Oliver.
I just bought my first Jaguar... a US 1 1/2 Etype cab.
I didn't received it yet. I have to be patient 2 more weeks before that.

I remember when i was twelve, I used to go to school by feet and a classics garage was just on my way. A gorgeous Etype Serie One was here, onto restoration process. One day i decided to be courageous and asked the mechanist if i could help him with this car. He accepted and asked me to glue the rubbers. That was my first step in this Jag love story.

I have some work to read all what you wrote, i will begin shortly.
Thanks for sharing your passion.

Have a nice day
Oliver

Hi Olivier,

Welcome to the forum and I only wish I could reply in French. I am not sure what a cab is, but I am assuming it is a hardtop version rather than a soft top.

I hope you enjoy the the car and you do not have to much work to do. I bet you cannot wait for the two weeks to pass. It will seem like a month.

Tony

Hi Olivier and welcome! I'll look forward to seeing the photos. I take my E Type to France sometimes to visit my friends who live there, and play golf. Where in France do you live?

Thanks again for your welcome and sorry for my bad english :)
I live 40km from Paris, on a green valley names "vall?e de chevreuse".
This is bicycles and classic cars heaven in this area.

My etype comes from Clarksville (VA). It was loved by the same owner for 35 years before he decided to sell it...

Here is some pictures

Nice car. It does not look like it will need much work to do on that. Never mind, a few more days gone and counting down.
