Hello everyone, I'm a happy camper at the moment, I've just bought a 1970 fhc in off white.
Just arranging shipping from the US.

Looks nice. Are you going to convert it to RHD or can you drive it as is in the UK?

Posted: **Tue Apr 01, 2014 1:14 pm**

I'm thinking to leave as is until I've had a reasonable chance to drive it in the UK, and it, and it Would be handy for the European continent as lhd.

Are you sure? It looks like Ascot Fawn to me. I love that colour ...

Yes, you are correct, it is ascot fawn, but I didn't know the colours when I first bought it.

looks beautiful! The gear knob - if you look at my Avatar, you'll see it looks like mine. I ordered mine from an English guy working in the states. He makes them by hand, and he put the centre emblem on by request; he found it as a lapel pin being marketed (it wasn't a standard thing too have on an e type gear knob)
Do you know where your's came from?

Hi Dave

Congratulations, it looks a really nice car, what are your plans for it? just enjoy it or any upgrades etc?

I am not too far from you and hope to see you around in it in due course, going to Tatton 31st May?

Cheers Ian

Don't know about the gear knob, but the car was based in davenport Florida.

Hello Ian, I hope to run it for a while and see if it needs any work. I just want to be able to use it regularly.
I should be able to attend tatton, so may see you there for a chat.

Hello Dave,

Looks like a tidy car. Like Ian, I'm not far from you in Macclesfield and am hoping to get to Tatton.

Regards,

Simon

I have the same gear fob. It has a Jaguar logo on top.

I restored this Little gem, because it was intact when the car left Georgia, but was in 3 pieces when it arrived- so someone tried on it I am Sure, broke it and left the remains.

Now, maybe a Retro fit, or "original to US Cars" - I have no idea, other then to have Seen it quite often on US Cars.

Maybe someone else knows more on this ? Mine is 66 S1 2+2.
