Hi all,
I'm new to the board.
I have a '66 E Type 4.2.
I'm the second owner & have had it since 1970.
It's apart right now for a complete engine rebuild, interior, paint and maybe a 5 speed.
Hope to finish the metal work this winter / next spring.
Back on the road some time next fall.....
Gary.

Howdy Gary,

"Welcome" to "THEE" best Brit Car Info. Center you`ll probably come across.

My "LOVE" affair with LBCs has and always will be an "E-Type". I`ve had the pleasure of owning "4" of them over the yrs. (`61 (Sold-Ouch), `64, `67 (My Favorite) & `69; All Rdstrs. I began with an "XK140OTS".

I`m looking forward to owning another when I hit the Lottery!!!!!!!!!!

Best Wishes in the Restoration,

Regards, Russ
