I posted pictures of this years ago, little recap and update.

Full nut and bolt rebuild about 7 years ago, upgraded gearbox, brakes and a few engine upgrades, quad SU's, electronic ignition, Becker Mexico and decent sound system discretely installed.
Other than that, a pretty standard V12 E-type. Not the most valuable of the E's and worth nothing like what it cost for the restoration, but we love it anyway.

In 7 years, the only mechanical fault has been a leaking rear diff, but that's most likely caused by the fact the car does about 300 miles a year.





My son absolutely loves riding shotgun.



I'll save a new post.

Very impressed with this, 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE - The first owner was Pinewood studios (supplied by Gaydon) for the filming of Skyfall, so the spec is ridiculous.



The trusty RS4 - I havent found anything I'd replace this with, or anything that's cost me more in maintenance.

Wow, what a jaw dropping collection and something for every occasion. A series 3 E type v12 went for £55k at CCA last weekend, it was a barn find which hadn't been used for 15 years.

Ha. We need our own forum. I've deleted FB. Get Tim on the case.

You could set up a new FB profile just for the PB? I could add you and then you'd only have the groups, you wouldn't need anything else on there.

Forums like this are dying, they're old tech compared to the new FB Groups.

In fact, if you did set up a separate profile just for the Groups, you could use the Groups App so you never even went near FB
