This is the first time this motor had been started post engine rebuild. This is an early 63 Jaguar E-Type with a 3.8 liter motor.

  • Are you running the engine on reversed polarity?

    Not mutch idea to try adjust the carbs with the choke on.........

    Nice car!

  • Thanks for watching from Sweden. The car is negative ground and the positive runs to the solenoid switch. As for the carbs we were not adjusting them, we were synchronizing them with the choke on. The adjustment came later after the car was warm and the choke was off.

  • Can you please send me some of the old grease or oil from the engine so I can smell it and rub it all over my face.

    Oh God I sound like J Clarkston,

  • I really like your wheels. I think the car will look much better without the wire wheels. Now all you need are the three-ear knockoffs.

  • I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old DOHC 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

  • absolutely beautiful =D

    right now i am restoring my numbers matching 64. I love it because you have the exact model colors as mine and i am searching for the same D-type dunlops. Could you send me a link where you found them. It would be a great help

    thanks,

    Danny
