1972 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 Roadster is ready to go

With the leaking master cylinder now replaced, the running problems have been resolved, all of the brakes have been bled and assessed and as mentioned previously, the new shocks have been fitted shes ready to go back home.

An unexpected issue has arisen…

Sometimes, when you are working on vehicles of this age, you discover more issues then you set out to work on.

As we lifted the jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster up onto the ramp the perished bushes could not handle it anymore and the shocks just gave up, leaking all over the floor.

Not a huge issue to resolve but none the less, a very important one. If we hadn’t discovered this when we did this could have gone back out onto the road and given up at any second.

New shocks and bushes were purchased the car was as good as new once again.

New arrival today

New arrival to the Bridge Classic Cars HQ this morning, a 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 Roadster.

Our mission: to resolve the leaking master cylinder and work on getting her up and running.

Lucky for us the the brakes work, we were dreading having to roll her off the trailer. I don’t think it would be the lightest beast to try and catch.
