I know a four speed is ideal for some but for practical reasons, it seems the automatic is what I am looking for this time around. Does the choice effect purchase price?

For creature comfort, air conditioning is another option I'm hoping to find in the same vehicle. Does the choice have any drawbacks on performance?

Is there a source that lists original interior colour options (e.g., biscuit) and exterior colour options (e.g. Regency red)?

As far as restoration, are replacements parts easily found (e.g., convertible top, seat kits)?

Lastly, if one were to buy a vehicle in excellent condition and price, what kind of paper trail/records are key to establishing value (given Carfaxing, I've been told, is not available on vehicles as old as these)?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts shared.

One site seems to provide a reasonable download (http://www.jaguarrepairmanual.com/jaguar-e-type-3.8-4.2.php). I just want to make sure that there is solid information on dashboard instruments and how to un-mount and remount. Thanks for any help.

I have a problem with dismounting the front panel: there are 2 turning knobs for air control which I am unable to remove. Any advise?
I also need to buy the right glue. I live in Palms Springs and during summer the temperature in the garage easily reaches 100 deg F. I thus need a glue which will be heat resistant. Any advise?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I disuaded him from that course, but now I have to find someone that knows how to adjust the door or he's going to reach for the bottle jack.

I need to replace my aging WEBASTO Fold-back roof on my 1971 E-Type 2+2, 4.2 Litre.
Have tried to follow several leads without luck.

Can anyone PLEASE help me finding a manufacturer, or perhaps, someone who may have this type of roof for sale?

Desperate in Edmonton, Alberta
Thank you

If anyone knows of a decent car available (no 2+2's), let me know, I'm not interested in a pristine example as I enjoy working on my cars and if it's too nice, there is nothing to work on, although I'm not much of a body man. Tried it once many years ago and swore I'd never do it again - one has to know their limitations!]]> Bob60 Jaguar E-Type Forum Wed, 28 Jan 2009 15:55:33 +0000
