<HTML>One thing I forgot: The Price! Much of what I listed was not necessarily new or exclusive to the E-Type. What was revolutionary and innovative was that they put all these advance features in a car that (initially) sold for less than $6,000. One more thing I forgot: the disc brakes were inboard at the rear, an exotic touch usually found only on race cars. This was done to reduce &quby <b>Webmaster</b> - Jaguar E-Type Forum
<HTML>Jaguar E-Type innovatives: 1) The use of four wheel disk brakes was unusual for a road car at the time the E-Type was introduced. 2) The E-Type also boasted of a all wheel independent suspension, which few road cars (and most race cars!) featured. It also featured dual springs/shock absorbers on both sides of the rear suspension. The combination of ride and handling qualities were eby <b>Webmaster</b> - Jaguar E-Type Forum

<HTML>I can remember looking at a fuel filter body on an E-Type and it was clear. Is yours clear? If so, you should be able to see if there is any fuel in it.
