james.wilson Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yes that was dads car. Im not a fan of old cars but he loved it. Nice maroon colour, for some reason I thought it was a lemon one ? I think the lemon was more of a series 2 colour. This is a series 3 (1971) 5.3 V12. Goes like a train does about 5 mpg securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

RichL Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 He's removed the whole thing, leads and all. Very nice car though, and I think (might be wrong, long time ago), an E-type was the first car I saw that had air-con! A mate of my dads used to do body work repairs on them. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

breff Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I was a mechanic in my former life and remember balancing the triple carbs on the only e type I ever worked on, that thing purred afterwards. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

james.wilson Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 This isnt triple SU per bank its got twin stromberg carbs per bank. Not sure of the difference. The earlier ones had triple SU's mind Sounds better in the flesh it sounds a lot deeper than that, but imo dads TVR v8 sounded better securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
