- I was just about to say before the memory card was full. Try and take someone who knows about E Types with you to the inspection as he or she will be able to point out what to look for before you buy. Send any comments to davejaguar66gmail.com
what a stunning job you've done on that e-type m8. Beautiful colour too. One day...
Sorry just seen your comment tonight, Thank you for kind words. Cheers Dave
As an engine designer who worked for Jaguar for 10 years I'll say that the tappers are NOT hydraulic but direct acting mechanical adjusted by shims...
Sorry it was a slip of the tongue as i am 64 i do make mistakes. I measured and fitted the shims myself, Cheers Dave.
Sound advice and what a beautiful car you have. 4 years is a long time, it must have been a labour of love. May I ask the total restoration cost?
steve, Thank you, Including buying the car it was around 85,000 Euros and i would think it‘s worth a bit more than that lol.
Cheers Dave
@@ClassicCarCave Hi Dave , many thanks for your reply...£77,000 all in is a massive investment and I think you have more than likely doubled your money in today's market place. It's a massive undertaking what you have done to bring the E type back to what looks like concours quality and condition. Are you a trained mechanic? How much of the work did you have to outsource? Sorry for all the question's but I'm intrigued.
Nice video, but next time please use a lapel mic. It helps us understand what you're saying.
Thanks but it was 2016 and and I was just getting to grips with the camera let alone and microphones lol. Cheers Dave
@@ClassicCarCave I understand. Good luck!
lol "you can eat your dinner off this one" ,excellent tutorial and a beautiful car.
MG, Thanks if you like the e type now go back and look at my e type restoration 4 years in 4 minutes video and see how bad it was! Cheers David
