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.
MG is the same way. Although, I found I could easily replace the most
problematic Lucas parts with Bosch or other reliable after-market brands.
