Are all well known in the Jaguar world..so I do have a few to talk to ...some have sent samples to me and the difference in what each of them call a colour “set” is quite marked...to the point where I find none has a perfect “set” for a colour ..but if I could combine some materials form a number of them it would be good

All good fun, and worth doing the research

Black...obviously would be a cinch....but in this case black isn’t an option...surprising for me... :roll:

....sorry JP, no wish to offend and just a little old-man/Jaguar tease........anyway, deleted so as not to lower the tone.

As you know I've always lusted after an E-Type and your car's so glorious it's enough to get any man chubby without further stimulant!

Truly wonderful :)

Cheers,

January 28th 2019 was probably a regular day for most of this parish, but for me it was the culmination of over 2 years of waiting, as it was 26 months since the car had been delivered to Envirostrip as a forlorn heap of parts, and today it was coming home

i was eager to get the car back into he large and at the same tine terribly nervous that some disaster could befall it on the last leg of the journey

happily I need not have worried as by 10.30 that morning I was greeted by this....

and in no time at all the old girl was tucked up safely......

with excellent company.....

so what to do next....?

Kick out that worn out black VW and get stuck in.
The fun part for you and us should begin ASAP.
Shell looks rather nice.
Deep breath and push ahead please. :)
