is colour choice critical for resale? I'll be painting over the summer, a 69 series II fhc. intended to go white, maybe old english white, but not a fan of old english, a bit too creamy. i prefer a sharper white, but will a non jag colour take from the value of the car?

Thanks Steve, will do.

Michael, thanks for that useful bit of info, I'll check that out.

Chris, I'm a long way from running the engine. Getting ready for paintwork in the next month. Into third winter on a total rebuild.

What should I fit on my series II fhc, debating over sizes and fitments of spoked wheels, like something a little wider than standard to fill the cavernous arches....without remortgaging the house!

Hi,

I've just bought an E-Type, its been in a shed for near 20years, bodywork is excellent (owner has been working away at it over the years)
The original engine is missing but he has a 4.2 from an XJ...I'm new to e types so what should i look out for and how acceptable is it to fit this one in?
