Sounds like you don't know them all that well. Nearly every piece on a Jaguar E-Type can be adjusted and/or rebuilt almost indefinitely. They're not particularly hard to work on ... stuffing that huge engine and transmission into such a tiny chassis makes access to some things complicated but that doesn't mean they are not serviceable. Even the (rightfully maligned on reliability) Lucas electrical components can usually be repaired even today, almost forty years after the E-Type went out of production and fifty years since it was introduced. Some bits on modern cars simply cannot be repaired at all, and many more cannot be repaired economically even after as short as ten years. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
