Not a bad article. The only blatant error is quoting the original tire size as 185/70 15; it was 185-15 (and actually about an "82" profile).
Yes,
that was definetely incorrect.
But THIS wasn't:
"Like the Jaguar E-type before it, no extraordinary effort was expended by the factory in regard to the fit and finish of body panels and it is rare to find a true, un-restored, unmolested, original TR6 with perfectly symmetrical panel gaps. Excellent panel fit is usually only found in carefully restored cars with the work performed by those well versed in the art of panel fitment." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif
Good article.

I haven't seen the front end fragility blamed on the wheel lock before. I thought it was more just about being built too light and the toll taken by rough roads and potholes. Pete

What I found interesting is the mention of the severe understeer that shows up when trying to push the car or drive slow with the wheels at full lock, they called it a design flaw. I have often wondered what is all the tire scuffing and fighting itself when turning slow and whats in the front suspension design that causes it. I am going with the the Jag upper ball joints (that J.K. Jackson recomends)to get more caster, Im hoping this will help.
