The 'E' Type Forum

They are the wisest words Ralph. Hope you didn’t learn this the hard way.

It’s still early days yet. Realistically, this will most likely be sold as is. I’ve just been watching this guy on YouTube restore his ‘junk e type engine’ Seeing all the specialist tools required is interesting to say the least. I’m pretty handy, very organised and love tinkering. But I won’t kid m...

I love how organised you seem Geoff. Very informative checklist you set up there. Thanks. I have to at least try and get some enjoyment out of this. I’ve just priced up some shelving. I’ve already got the makers plate at home. Got my Haynes manual and parts catalogue to categorise and take inventory...

Thanks Christopher. That’s sound advice. I wouldn’t touch the body at all! That’s my plan then. Like you said, laying it all out is gonna be fun and time consuming. Although it’s a bit sad. It still feels like I have something precious. I would never sell it as separate parts. It has to be sold as a...

I thought this would turn into a sad story!
I believe the whole car is there. I remember seeing it as a kid.
Not including the body. What could I easily do myself to save money. Is it as simple as sand blasting all the rust off?

Sorry Angus
I didn’t see your post there. You pretty much answered my question.

I managed to con my wife on diversion from a B & Q trip, to go and see the garage. These are the best photos I could muster until I build some shelving solutions. This is pretty shocking! https://i.postimg.cc/FHZDhFqX/0-F439537-FE59-48-A9-886-E-CBD0-C95929-C0.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/q71KNPJY/34-E4-...

Hi Christopher I can confirm that it is an E Type. From the shape of the panels, doors, Bonnet etc... I found a box of parts with 4.2 FHC e type wrote on it. The makers plate chassis number says 1E20.... I remember about 30 years ago. My brother jumped onto the roof when it was in one piece. It was ...

That’s interesting about the doors. I remember my uncle mention my dad once owning a MK10. He also owned a classic S type that he recently had a guy pick up and take to scrap! If it was scrapped, that would be a shame because it was in 1 piece.

Is there anywhere that would take these doors?

Hi everyone. Thanks for all the interest and input. To answer some questions. I’m based in London. Didn’t manage to get any photographs. When me and my brother discovered it, we couldn’t even get in the garage. We took most of it out and it started to rain! For someone to come and look at it would b...

Hi everyone I’m Steve I’ve just inherited a pile of e type from my late father. I’m not even sure what I’m looking at. Everything is in bits! It’s in a barn find condition. I did find a makers plate. After a bit of research, I assume as long as numbers match, which I haven’t confirmed yet, it may be...
