New E-Type owner in Cornwall

[Majorpidge]

Good Morning ( Depending upon where you are in the world)

I have fulfilled a chidhood promise that one day I would buy myself a E-Type. I had though targetted the purchase before reaching the age of 35. I am however 22 years late.

I was attracted to this site as I saw that there seemed to be a Cornish section. I can not see this section on any of the lists. I am not good with forums and therefore I am sure that its there somewhere. If some kind soul could direct me I would be grateful.

I have bought myself what they call a series 1.5 2+2 Coupe in black. Im thrilled with it and I look foward in meeting a few local owners for a few meet ups and sunny day drives.

Kindest Regards

Deryk

Hi and welcome. That’s a great looking car. Have you had it long?
In terms of a ‘Cornwall section’, are you a member of any Jaguar car clubs? JEC, JDC or the E-Type Club. They will have local reps who organise or communicate local events. The E-Type Club has a Devon & Cornwall rep for example.

Hi Richard

Thank you!

I have joined the "Jaguar Enthusiasts Club" I have messaged two of the local regions. However, disappointingly nither has replied. I wonder if I have joined the wrong club

Deryk, as Steve says, this is the best club for all things E Type. No membership fees, just good advice and technical help, plus a light sprinkling of humour.
There are the other clubs mentioned by Richard, they are more social clubs with broader membership, except for the E Type Club which is often described as a commercial venture.
If you wish to meet up with others then the JDC and JEC will have from the good to the bad in the way of which local group you meet. It depends on what you want. For help and advice this is by far the best place.

Please add your name and car type to the signature area as it helps people respond appropriately and politely to questions.

Have fun and welcome.

Welcome on board - a lovely looking car. If you have not done so already, it's worth exploring all the various sections of the Forum (particularly the knoweldgebase).... huge amounts of detail present.

[Majorpidge]

Thank you I will.

Hi Peter
Just scrolling through to find Etype owners in Cornwall and see that you are in Lanivet just a few miles from me in St Tudy. Do you go to any Etype meets with other Etype owners at all? I moved to the area just over a year ago + have not been successful in finding anything local. Would be good to hear back from you. Regards, Steve + Angela Young

Steve,

Contact Lewis Mitchell at vivien.mitchell@btinternet.com. Lewis runs the Cornish area of the JDC. It means a bimble down the A39 to Truro for the regular meets, but nothing ventured ......
