Back door scripts

No Quarter · Post by **No Quarter** » Tue Jan 10, 2023 6:03 pm

My E-Type, bought totally taken apart, came with a back door of another color inside and out, so probably not originally for that car. It seems to fit well though. But what script should I have on for a March 63? The E-Type script and Jaguar was on, but the two holes below, is it supposed to have 3.8? If so, can't find it to buy...

As far as I know on series 1 3.8 the only script is the Jaguar name and nothing else, looks like you have either a 4.2 or series 2 hatch. I don’t know whether it is the light or something looks wrong on your rear.

Limora shows both E-Type and Jaguar available for 61-64, but no engine size script

Danny, you're right, I found a picture from when it was for sale on ebay in 2009, the original back door only says Jaguar. I wonder if the Jaguar script early on was placed where it is on my later back door. Does anybody have a measurement on an original S1 back door from bottom of door to bottom of Jaguar script?

I think your measurement is from the top of the door to the bottom of the script.

I've measured mine from bottom of door to bottom of script as approx. 98mm.
