I'll admit it - the S211 comes in handy now and again...

Those SU's are fairly. easy to work on, is it 3 on that one, I forget

A small ultrasonic cleaner is good and diesel will dissolve stale petrol deposits

I have often wondered about trying to swap the Webers for SUs. I agree - they would be way less hassle!

Originally they would have been three 2" SUs, but mine came with three 45DCOE Webers.

Webers sound WAY nicer than SU's though! and must admit ive never had any problems with weber carbs

Yes, you are quite right Pete - on both counts I guess.

1. You should hear it with the pedal flat to the boards. :twisted:

2. Those Webers are old and tired, and I admit that's not a great way to ask them to perform. I really should just take a deep breath and get them serviced. A good clean and a set of new gaskets, seals, O-rings, valves, and whatnot would do them a world of good. Then I guess they would stand a better chance of performing reliably!

The Jags of these year did give outstanding value for the money, I had loads of Mk10s as well, they were quiet and good ride. even today the E types take some beating for the looks. When I lived in Herts, there was an old boy in Kings Langley who made D type bodies. That guy was so clever, a wing or bonnet he could reproduce by cutting out loads of small pieces of ally, laying them on top of a good one, scale the pieces down a touch, weld them all together and on the finished job, I could take the part home, etch prime and spray with virtually no filler at all.

They were the happiest days of my life

Here you are Malcolm..
This is a D type that was actually being run at the North Weald Drag Strip !!

You are in the "trade" so to speak. Most people have 1 car and keep it 2-3years?

Ahem... :Oops:
