The 'E' Type Forum

Good Day, can anyone tell me the correct colour of the bonnet balances.

Thanks,

John Hay.

Some cars had body colour balance links, others had cad plated whilst others had black. For the S2 I would say cad plated with black painted springs which is confirmed by the JCNA S2 judging guide: http://www.jcna.com/library/concours/2006/e-type2.pdf

Thank you so much for your reply,
I have been restoring this car, which I got in boxes and had no clue where parts were meant to go. Its been a large learning curve for me, but with the help of the forum and especially Chris Vine, who I met on a recent trip to the UK, I have managed to put most parts in order.

I some time feel that I am asking silly questions but with out having any thing to go on and a limited knowledge base here in South Africa, I have to pose these questions, or I will not end up with the concourse vehicle I would like it to be .

I have done a total rebuild of this car, everything is new, and it has had no rust what so ever and all parts have been sourced from the UK, Its a matching numbers vehicle, can you give me an estimate of the current value in the UK?

Thanks & regards,
John.
