The 'E' Type Forum

I came across this problem once but not on an E type, we checked the obvious for interior lights coming on etc the alternator was charging at 14v under load. We disconnected the battery at night and it solved the problem of the battery drain and going flat, all the relevant wiring and connections ap...

First I would like to thank you for the replies, in regards to my E type, very nice looking car Mark E and do agree with you that the field dose make a good testing ground. As for an E type tractor or grass cutter, this would be a very good idea and make a change from my yellow JCB tractor ride on m...

Well I am trying once more to post photos please let me know if they work, Obviously driving around the field has not helped the engine bay as its covered in dust and still is, but i did wash the outside of the car. However, you will notice that the engine bay is full of the original parts, I fitted...

After standing for eight years or more I notice some corrosion setting in, I am beginning to wish I had not taken photos ; still the vehicle has not moved for about eight years until recently, The camshaft covers are not original I fitted these back in 1978ish but still have the original ones. After...

Dave Thanks for that, therefore, it would be worth having a Mot done first and then find someone who is willing to spend 30k to 50k. I suppose in some ways it could be a good investment in the right hands. After all, I doubt if the E types will drop in value, so one could enjoy owning one for a few ...

Dave I am fortunate to have a large brick built garage that can house up to four cars, however like most garages get filled up with all sorts. I have thought about selling the car, but there is something about the E Type that is very attractive and although it sits in the garage most of the time, it...

It might be an Etype but at the end of the day, it is a car to enjoy so a run around the field with the kids was always good fun along with a few handbrake turns. It?s a car I bought in 1974 for the sum of ?75.00; it had a damaged front wing with the word ouch! Written on the wing, the hood was tatt...

I am noj, I have a 1963 .3.8 roadster it has sat in my garage for some years now mainly due to so many other commitments. However, this weekend I decided to see if she would fire up after eight years of standing. I removed the spark plugs and put a few drops of oil down each cylinder. I got myself a...
