Replaced The Dizzy Cap On The E-Type Today


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

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
