The 'E' Type Forum

The Good Lord is a Righteous Lord and he vents his wrath (rightly) on all those who defile perfectly good classics by converting them to Fisher Price cars (q.v. Harry & Meghan.....)

Hi Paul an override switch for the fans for slow traffic is usefull....Steve

Ah - sorry to hear that. I did have a look through my file last night but I can't find a note of the (Glasurit) code used on my car.

Possibly worth having a word with Angus? He must have a pretty comprehensive range of paint code numbers.

Hi Matt Howzabout quickly nipping down the M11 and then round the M25 in a fortnight's time to Brands Hatch for Brands Britannia? https://www.brandshatch.co.uk/2026/may/brands-britannia As well as being just an all-round good day out, there will be loads of E-types there - including my own - so you'...

Hampton Court is fabulous (both for the cars and the surroundings) - definitely recommend it

Sad news indeed - his book is his gift to us all

Not unless you count George Clooney......

Curious. Whilst out and about last week I bumped into a Scottish Wildcat, and looking back through my photos it seems that it was attempting a passable impression of a Jaguar growler......

Am I allowed to disagree?

We can agree to disagree!

Thanks Nick If I can get the JPS, then I'll be well on my way to forming a Boston tribute band: https://preview.redd.it/xgelv5z9dnsz.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=75402975ad41687cc9a5bc1925c24a2820d8a7dc I've already got a bicycle, so it's then just a motorbike and one of those funny little ...

6d? The price of stamps has risen even faster than the price of E-types over the years!

Well done! Lovely looking car - but then I'm biased because it looks very similar to my own :thumbsup: You're going to have a lot of fun. Good to see that you've arrived here via a Lotus Europa too. I ran a yellow Special back in the Eighties and currently have my eye on a JPS car as a restoration p...

Woo hoo! Lightbulbs!

Happy Christmas All

"Copy Nothing" - but do take the time to check what others have been getting up to first: https://iot-automotive.news/lancia-pura-hpe-the-first-car-in-lancias-new-era/ (Came out over a year ago, and no, we Lancisiti aren't exactly forming an orderly queue either - although I do think there's more de...

Unfortunately I appear to be off-scale (although, with a nod to Peter Crespin - if he's still around - I can do the Ventoux)

Chapeau!

Superb!

All Series 2s are '7R's but they switched from using the -8/-9 suffixes at the end of 1970. From Philip Porter's book: From: Engine No.14269 Following engine number, letters replace figures to denote compression ratio. Henceforth: H - denotes High Compression S - denotes Standard Compression L - den...

It'll be good to see you there! They're very well organised once inside, so my best advice would simply be to get there early so that you're not having to nurse your 'E' through London traffic any more than you have to. They're likely to bring us in via the main entrance on City Road, but there's a ...
