I may have posted these quite a while back, but they are worth repeating if you did not see them:

I attended Trenton State College (now "The College of New Jersey" ) in the late '60s and early '70s. At the time I started there, I was driving an MGA.

Anyway, one of the teacher in our engineering technology program was Ralph Edelbach, who also drove an MGA: a 1600 Deluxe (essentially, a Twin-Cam car but with the pushrod engine....it had the neat Dunlop wheels and 4 wheel disk brakes).

Ralph and I were both members of the Delaware Valley Sports Car Club in the late 60s. Later on in life he restored an E-type roadster.
He was always into photography and a while back he sent me a link to photos he took at Sebring in '61, Vineland Speedway in '59 and the NĂĽrburgring in '67.

You can see those photos here:

Ralph also fully restored an E-Type Jaguar many years ago. He told me he greatly regrets selling it (he has an ALFA Spider these days)

Great pics - thanks! Sadly not so many people view an E-Type as a DIY restoration any more.

Love the Sebring shots - a simpler time!
