I remember when they were new,they were unreliable and the build quality was poor.The rusted away after a few years and had many mechanical and electrical problems.
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree!

sounds good, i'm working on a '64 e-type at the shop i work at, there's another one also that is a 2+2 and I imagine that the V12 that my coworker rebuilt will go in it fairly soon.
Are these cars- the E series- still produced by jaguar, ever? or is it possible to get one from somewhere? @patsjags

My dad owns a 1996 n reg BMW 750il, with the 5.4 v12 & your E Type is kicking it's ass in the sound & beauty stakes.

The best thing about the E type were it's looks. Build quality was suspect.
