Hello gang, just thought I'd introduce myself and my car. I'm Patrick and I have a 1966 Series 1, 4.2, open two-seater, right-hand drive E-Type, #1E1.445. I've owned this car for about 30 years, and found it sitting in a field with grass grown up around it. I paid $800 for the car. After a stint in the US Navy, I started a TOTAL restoration of this car. Now, 20 years later, I've just about finished. I took it to 4 JCNA concours shows in 2001, and finished with an average of 99.97, which put my car in 3rd place National, and 1st place regional. (I don't mean to sound like I'm gloating or bragging, just letting you know the facts). For a very detailed story on the restoration of this car, you can check out my website at www.mcload.com I still have some "issues" to resolve before the 2002 Texas concours crank up in the fall, but for the most part, I'm over the hump so to speak. I sent a photo to Basil; maybe he'll get it posted before long. I'm sure I'll have a few questions to post to you with series 1 cars, and if I can provide any answers to any of you, I will try my best.
