#1 Rare/unseen E-Type factory productions photos
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2014 5:04 pm
Came across this short video which showed one or two photos which I have never seen before, one in particular showing a line of S3 OTS in the factory with covers partly over them. These can't be found anywhere on the Jaguar Heritage website, and I haven't seen these shots before on the internet. The one of the roadster unpainted on its side is the one I have seen numerous times. I suspect production photos of E-Types at Browns Lane are very few and far between. Would be great to see rare shots of Es on the production line, not just series 1s, but also the 2+2 models.
I also recall browsing through Jaguar Monthly magazine recently and came across a rare photo of a couple of E-Types (if I remember, a FHC and a roadster) out in the car park at the factory side by side with a line of other more vintage cars. It gave the source of the photo as being on the Heritage site, but there was no sign of it (nor of a few others photos I saw) on their website. I often find many, many photos in magazines/books that you will never find on the internet. People have this image of the net as being the place where anything and everything that you can find within a book/magazine and other literature will be found online, which isn't true.
