@@ClassicCarCave Hi Dave , many thanks for your reply...£77,000 all in is a massive investment and I think you have more than likely doubled your money in today's market place. It's a massive undertaking what you have done to bring the E type back to what looks like concours quality and condition. Are you a trained mechanic? How much of the work did you have to outsource? Sorry for all the question's but I'm intrigued.
what a stunning job you've done on that e-type m8. Beautiful colour too. One day...
Sorry just seen your comment tonight, Thank you for kind words. Cheers Dave
Nice video, but next time please use a lapel mic. It helps us understand what you're saying.
Thanks but it was 2016 and and I was just getting to grips with the camera let alone and microphones lol. Cheers Dave
@@ClassicCarCave I understand. Good luck!
Sound advice and what a beautiful car you have. 4 years is a long time, it must have been a labour of love. May I ask the total restoration cost?
steve, Thank you, Including buying the car it was around 85,000 Euros and i would think it‘s worth a bit more than that lol.
Cheers Dave

As an engine designer who worked for Jaguar for 10 years I'll say that the tappers are NOT hydraulic but direct acting mechanical adjusted by shims...
Sorry it was a slip of the tongue as i am 64 i do make mistakes. I measured and fitted the shims myself, Cheers Dave.
lol "you can eat your dinner off this one" ,excellent tutorial and a beautiful car.
MG, Thanks if you like the e type now go back and look at my e type restoration 4 years in 4 minutes video and see how bad it was! Cheers David
