Our 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 returns
April 4, 2024
Lovely to welcome back our 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series 3, having been away and enjoyed for the passed year. The car returns for a general service and to look into a potential blown exhaust. Whilst in with us we are also going to check the electric fans are working and fit an electrical over-ride switch to be able to switch the fans on. This way the car and owner are not 100% reliant on the temperature sensor doing all of the hard work.
