Hi Guys,
I was 14 years old when Jaguar announced the Jaguar E-Type and it left me with a life long impression of a fabulous car and an ambition to own one.
I was 51 before I had enough money to make a purchase of a 1971 series 3 V12 FHC. I drove it and repaired it myself until a devastating fire in 2004.
I am just coming to the end of a 21 year rebuild and need help with one particular problem. Regards to all, Chris.
 
Hi Chris - welcome to BCF. I felt the same when I first saw an E-type - but never had the dollars. Settled (?) for a 1959 TR3.

For tech help, you might want to post in the Jaguar area:


I *did* have a MkVII long ago. Ah, the memories.

Thanks Tom.
I will do that soon if I need to.
An internet search brought me here to someone who has had the same problem and who found the fix in a Garage in Sarasota.
I have reached out to them this afternoon via their contact link.
MKV11 Grace, Space, Pace. Quite a bit of leg room in the back and an engine that won at Le Mans.
Regards
Chris
