The 'E' Type Forum

The Optional Extras section of Jaguar's J30 Spare Parts Catalogue lists the Smiths Radiomobile HMV 500T radio and several other radios as options for early E-types.

Anyone else have any they want to share, I was disappointed at first expecting the claimed 265 hp figure until I was told it was BS...... Spec is, Fully rebuilt 3...

Lovely looking car, only purchased mine a week ago and love it

Great looking car Craig. Your first E-Type or are you a veteran?

First ever E type, but been considering for a number of years, I have other classic cars and restored a few myself but I can see why people consider these as a special car..

Thanks for the advice guys, changing the http sorted it
