Hello, new to this site and to Jaguar E Types, being more of a Morgan fan. However in my nearly retired state I decided to convert the barn at the side of my house to a proper workshop with four poster in order to work on friends's cars.

First one in the workshop is a 1966 S1 E Type convertible. Unrestored it's led a good life and has very little corrosion. Car though has been off the road for 3 years and was previously overhauled nearly 20 years ago. My job is to get car back on the road.

Where I cannot find the information in manuals I may be posting on this forum in order to seek your assistance.

Equally if any of you are on your travels, not that far from Toulouse, and need to use a four poster, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Cheers, Philip
Cheers

Philip
