Tickets just purchased, new steering rack mounts fitted - just the diff to remove to sort the oil leak...

With regard to name tags identifying car to forum name - there are a few important points that I would like all to avail themselves before looking over my car - no 1, That the thackery washers and correct wing nuts (all the way from the states) to the battery retaining brackets are fitted!. No2 that the seat adjustment levers do have the retaining brackets! 3) the clock is working! :lol: :lol:

All the 'non original' items to be overlooked, or at least discussed out of earshot!!! :oops: :oops:

Hi Andrew I suggested that as a minimum we all put our name and forum name and possibly where youve come from.. in large letters on a sheet of paper in our windscreen......and the same on some sort of name badge even if its just the paper stick on ones.....it may be naf but just go with it whilst were around our group....peal it off when you go for a wander......i will bring some A4 and sticky notes with me for any one that forgets......any outher suggestions welcom.

Julian

You mention some boot runners - are these spare originals by any chance as I'm looking for some?

Will be good to meet up seeing how we are nearly neighbours!

My missus has noticed that some of the team are naming their better halves on the list. So in order to keep things even my booking is changed to :

Tim & Jenny Wood


So both of us will see you all there.

( rear brakes bled, just need the MOT)

Best wishes to all

Tim

Well done. Don't forget to get your tickets. This is a great turn out. How many get to E type day at Prescott as a matter of Interest? It's 43 years since I went :shock:

Prescott can have up to 100 Es on a good day. Or, as was the case in 2009 just.....er..... seven cars?

That's a very worthwhile trip to BL Julian - all about timing...

I wish - not driven mine since the day after I collected it :-(

Surrey CC seem to be out gritting every other night so the roads are horrible round us. I live in hope of March being better?...

this is looking a very good turn out. I have two friends who may come along, one is not a forum member, the other owns the lovely OBL car number 850060 which I had the pleasure of seeing last week. What a truly stunning car. I am hoping he will be able to come along as well.
