I was wondering if there were any formal or informal arrangements for Jag owners staying in Cheltenham on Friday night to travel in convoy to Sudeley Castle on the Saturday morning as I know that Scenic tours are arranging a few hotels for this event ??

Mark To get an E Type onto a winched trailer I would attach a protected strap around one of the front lower wishbones (the big one which has the lower ball joint on its end) This would enable the car to be loaded without any underbody concerns. Then strap down all four wheels with ratchet straps so ...

I am sorry that I do not concur with your 12% speedo error, Tyre size........Diameter.......Rolling Radius....Circumference...Speedo Error 185/80/15.......677..............338..................2126................0 205/70/15.......668..............334..................2098................1.35% 205/6...

Many thanks for your great reply. Based on a high diff ratio and your change up data, I could well have been at the point of up change in second at 4000 rpm and only be doing 50MPH. I will get this 420G back in to verify this. I was probably just not going fast enough !! It was a joy to spend the da...

Hi All I was recently doing some tuning work on a 1968 420G with High comp engine and triple SU's fitted with the Borg Warner model 8 Auto box. Following the tune up I took the old girl for a drive but was very surprised at the high level of revs for the relatively slow speed, I wondered if the car ...

A belated thanks Stuart

Chris, prior to my restoration my E was running on 5J wires with 185/15 rubber, I decided to change these for MWS 6.5J wires with 205/65/15 radials which really improved the look of the car and did not make it look so long and thin (in my opinion) Whilst the slow speed steering is obviously heavier ...

Geordies original post brought a smile to my face when he said that a lack of response would assume owners are dead or in old peoples homes. I am 55 and purchased my E in 2011 at 50. I had a goal to complete a ground up resto prior to my wedding in 2013! Unfortunately in early 2012 with the E in bar...
