The 'E' Type Forum

Now being used in earnest

I’ve had 24 e types in my life and early on they would be daily drivers. I’ve had every variant, OTS, FHC, 2+2 3.8, 4.2 and 5.3. Also aluminium racers.

Can anyone recall a magazine article highlighting a retired engineers on going project of fitting a V12 engine transverse into a S3 2+2.

Hi, I have an all aluminium e type and used sheet neoprene, cut to shape and glued to the wheel arches in an attempt to protect the delicate ally from damage caused by flying stones. The neoprene is closed cell, doesn’t retain water and hoses off clean after an outing.
