Home Away from Home – Our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 heads cross-country to its new home
November 3, 2023
Our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5, which was won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, has made its way across the country this morning to its new home nestled deep within the Cotswolds.
The car, which is now the pride and joy of new owner Robert, has been safely put into storage with plans to bring the car out for a few winter weather road trips in the coming months but returning to its dry, warm home afterwards.
We wish Robert many happy miles with the car and look forward to seeing the adventures it finds itself on.
Rover Hood Work Continues
November 3, 2023
As you can see, Brian and Lydia have been working together to fit the rear edge of the inner liner to the rear bar of the frame. The zip section to the rear bar, rear window have now been fitted and the rubber seal to the bottom of window. The rubber seal to rear edge of the car has now been bolted in.
The cover was too tight so we have adjusted the front edge of the hood cover, glued in the flap to the frame and fitted metal bars into the rear side edges of hood cover. The cover along the rear bar of the frame has been adjusted and we’ll leave the cover on overnight to stretch.
