Wonderful jaguar. Absolutely beautiful. An extremely early one too. Your brother has great taste. I prefer the 3.8 and 4.2 coupes and not the later V12's although they are easier to drive. My father used to take me to school in his 4.2. How lucky was I!!
Hi Steve, an wonderful early and very original e-type. I‘am going on in the moment on a restauration of an early hadertank and aswell i change a Brand new hadertank, made out of brass, to a stile, looking similar to the originals with the weldet flange around. Regards, Dieter
That’s can be normal given the choke is on and it’s a very cold morning ….. BUT on the other hand the tappets sound a bit noisy …. Also Maybe a compression test would be a good check to see if those rings are ok … if not then it’s pull down time …
Lovely car but a lot of after market parts on it. Was it profesionaly checked for originality. Rear under panel no creases that I could see. Maybe just camera angle. Hope he not pay to much if not original as one thinks.
Hi Steve, Many thanks for your comment, it is my brothers car so I have not asked how much he payed for it. The body has been restored at some stage so you could well be correct about the under panel and yes I believe he did have it checked before buying it. Regards Steve
Hi, The cover is a Carcoon, it is manufactured in Manchester, England by the Carcoon Company. They are a fantastic small company and the cover works well at preventing condensation and keeping the car clean while in storage. Regards Steve
Hi Malcolm, Many thanks for your comment most appreciated, I will let my brother know about the red light choke warning light, and I believe he has purchased a replacement header tank. Roll on summer!
Wow......a beauty! That Mk1 fixed head coupé was the prettiest of all the E-type incarnations.

Yes indeed, we must both consider ourselves fortunate to have experienced that feeling.

Beautiful car! Looks like about 10psi in those tires.
Very smart looking car, S1 coupe is the best E type design. Front near side tyre looks a bit flat !
The most obvious non original feature is the metal dash. These were superseded in mid 63 (sept?). Prob fitted when converted to RHD?

I think Tony is going to need an engine rebuild. It smokes more than my Grandfather used to.
