Re: cooling fan

I have an β€˜old’ 2 speed Kenlowe on my 4.2 and decided to convert to a manual switch.

Re: E Type Video

Excellent πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

When we were parked at cafe at the top of a mountain pass in Switzerland (sorry, can’t spell its name!) with a Ferrari one side and a Maserati the other, our E Type was much photographed with no pictures being taken of the other twoπŸ‘πŸ‘.

Fuel tank

Hi guys, I’m considering replacing the fuel tank in the very near future (before the good weather arrives!) as there is a smell of petrol fumes in the boot and I’ve already replaced/checked everything else (pipes, pump etc) in the boot.
