The 'E' Type Forum

Just received a full set of Series 3 SS bumpers from Group Harrington. I was rather concerned when I found that it was being totally dealt with from Vietnam but can now give full praise to them as they are without doubt the best bumpers I have ever bought in over 40 years of classic ownership. Look ...

You only come down this road once!!

Been on the road a long time with some very nice cars. Still have quite a few of them to play with. Very glad that there is no satnav telling me where the road ends.

A bit of research suggests George Best had "a series of E-Type Jaguars" yet no pictures of him with one. The August 1997 issue of 'Classic & Sportscar' did run an article where he was re-united with one of them (presumably the one owned by Eagle): http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/q-max/csaugus...

Thank you for those. Some nice pics. but I was hoping that some contact could be made with the actual owners of the cars. Just thought it would be nice to see a large selection all in one place.

Not only is the E type one of the most charismatic and in many peoples opinion the most beautiful car ever made it was also the status symbol of the stars during the 60s and early 70s. Can we compile a list of those still on the road, better still what a wonderful display it would make if an event c...

lOOKING FOR SOME INFO. OR ADVICE PLEASE RE. THE REFITTING OF THE HOOD & BOOT DOOR FABRIC ON A 1971 FIXED HEAD 2 PLUS 2 COUPE. CAR IS DARK BLUE WITH BLUE VELOUR SEATING. I WANT TO RETURN THE CAR TO THE ORIGINAL MATERIAL SO SEEKING BOTH THE CORRECT FABRIC AND COLOUR AND POSSIBLY A FITTER. IT HAS A PLA...

Been off the net for a while so unable to answer. Yes watched the second half and very much enjoyed. Re the George Best E Type V12 reg. number GGF 379J it is clearly shown on the DVD " The official George Best story". when after being left out of the team for a cup match he had a fall out with Tommy...

Wonderful film and many thanks for making it available. Just shows why Jaguar made e-types so available to him, what a star player. The car shown in this film is the earlier 1969 model and also shown in the still picture as publicity shot with girl friend and George standing beside it. There must ha...

Most men wish they had an E-TYPE and George Best was one of the fortunate men who could have the latest model. The half picture taken at night in the series 3 coupe with steel wheels and hub cap showing is I feel sure GGF 379J. It was one of the first of this model and probably used to promote the 2...

The one you mention is an earlier model.
It seems George Best changed cars regularly possibly at reduced cost as advertising for the mark owing to his high profile and the one from mid. 1971 GGF 379J still exists. Dark blue in reasonable running condition.

An interesting article from 2009 by the auction house ARTFACT when selling George Best memorabilia. The damaged number plate GGF 379J which the garage had retained from GEORGE BESTS 1971 series3 v12 coupe. some pictures exist of Best in the car and outside his mothers home from 1971 and 72 but none ...
