The 'E' Type Forum

Hey Paul, wondered what happened to you and 1600HP since I last saw you, only good things, deserving the limelight.Hope you get them niggles sorted before the next driving season. Danny Hi Danny, Good to hear from you. Didn't manage to visit The Goat much through this year due to weather, working a...

Paul, well deserved to see your car in the spotlight. Have you asked Santa for a new supply of chamois leathers and polish to keep the car bright and clean :bigrin: Geoff Hi Geoff, Car accessories always a welcome Santa surprise in my household :bigrin: 2025 seems to flown by with 860005 not gettin...

Good Morning Friends, It's been quite some time since I last posted on this forum due manic work & domestic life pressures. Angus did some minor tinkering with 860005 earlier this year and will be attending to her again soon to sort out an irritating issue with low voltage wiring to the coil causing...

Incredible collection of cars you have and enjoy
Fabulous

Hi Richard, I know Hanbury Manor very well and as you say is a beautiful location to meet up. The hotel would love seeing a bunch of E-Types outside their hotel. I'm happy for anyone to make the necessary arrangements. My e-type was taken to Moss Jaguar this morning and is likely to be with Angus fo...

Hi Julian,
860005 is undergoing maintenance later this week and won’t be around until at least November.
If anyone is interested in a local get together let’s have some pub location suggestions.

Hi Richard,
We moved from Hertford to Welwyn earlier this year and 005 was acquired after the move.
Not sure if local E-type owners organise periodic gatherings, but I’d certainly be interested and coming along and taking a good look at the E’s.

Are there any original photos pre registration in 1967 of this car...what was it doing between 61-67....Steve Hi Steve, Very little is known about 860005 whilst in Jaguar NYC Showroom's care. Apparently, they to it around the USA for publicity purposes. I did find on this forum a photo of a S1 FHC ...

Hi and welcome, would be glad and excited to look over that beauty if and when the occasion arises. Hi Danny, Thank you and look forward to meeting you. You're most welcome, as is anyone else who might be interested, in looking over 860005 anytime. Not sure where you're located. I'm in Welwyn, Herts.

Whilst I can see the pleasure in owning a car that will never be used in the manner originally intended (driven hard and fast and then sold when something faster comes along) it is not something I would do. I prefer my card to be used. I have a daily driver, plus a S2000 and the E both of which do ...

Hi Julian,
Thanks for making contact.
We moved to this area 6 months ago having lived in Hertford for the past 22 years.
Would be good to meet up with others in the local area at some point, although the weather is closing in and I guess most E's will be tucked up in bed for winter.
Regards, Paul

Hi Malcolm, Thanks and funnily enough I barely fit in 860005! Slowly trying to shed weight so I don't look a complete fool squeezing in and exploding out! [/quote] I'd do a straight swap for it with my 2+2 which would give you more room! :lol: [/quote] Malcolm, your offer is almost too good to resis...

Hi Steve,
I think my wires are 15”.

Hi Geoff, Thanks for the signature tip which I’ve taken on board. We have day cars but this is my only classic so far having blown the budget on 860005! It’s provenance is well documented on XKEData. I’ll be adding to it as time goes by. I went to Angus’s open day too. I had intended bringing 860005...

Dear Friends, Thank you Admin for inclusion to this very informative E-Type forum. Angus Moss introduced this forum to me during a visit to his garage in August this year. I am a previous E-Type owner (1980’s) and recently acquired 860005, a beautiful opalescent dark blue S1 FHC. I’m based in Welwyn...
