    After an engine rebuild,where we dropped the piston comp down to 10.5 and the camshaft duration to about 300degrees,also new clutch and new rear shockers and springs.
    Went on a run yesterday,car awesome running non R series tyres due to a 1,000 mile rally coming up.
    also fitted a alloy billet steering mount block,hugh difference.

    Arthur,

    Do you have a decent source for Avons in the UK? I have Pirelli P Zero Rossos on my Turbo R at present but was figuring on putting a set of Turbospeeds back on if I can find any sort of a reasonable deal on them.

    Love that car in black -- makes the modern exotics look clunky in comparison.

    Still one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I used to have a 1964 E 4.2 in puke green. I really miss her. I needed two of everything for her to run (fuel pumps) but did not care.

    One of my British colleagues said same to me - out of curiosity, what is the average price for an E-Type in AUD?
