The 'E' Type Forum

Hi I have owned my Etype for 35 Canadian winters,have never used stabilizer,fired up every spring no problem,clean oil in the engine more of a priority to me.

Hi,I don't buy the Norton Feather Bed frame thing either,as far as I know the frame work on the front of an E Type is there because Malcolm Sayer came from the aircraft industry.

Keep on going Joey,following your 5 speed install with interest,I would do that metal mod in a heart beat on my car.I think the basic E type tub was very strong,a fellow JCNA member who raced a coupe was and still is amazed how well it stood up to off track excursions etc. Regards Gerry 62 Ots Ontar...

Hi Jeremy,if you had A Moss Box,you would be very exited about a fivespeed box with unbeatable synco.I often start off in 2nd at traffic lights to avoid that slow change from first to second causing the person in a full size pickup or suv to run into the back of me!

Hi Chris ,I think you must be mistaken ,the moulds for the challenger were taken from an early E type roadster ,saw one at a car show in Toronto, very convincing until you got up close ,transmission tunnel was the big give away.
