Drew: Yes, the engine does sound pretty good. Tappet noise for 30 seconds on start but that is typical. Gearbox is a TREMEC 5-speed. Ist gear is pretty noisy but that is normal as well. IT SHIFTS … unlike our beloved Moss boxes. J J (I have had 4 of them so I can comment.)
Ahhhhhhh,
Was it good for you, too?
Anybody got a match?

Very classy. I din’t think I’ve ever seen that color on an E. Is it original ?
That’s a fine looking S3 John
Signal Red…yup. Thank you.
Thank you. Driven almost every week for the last 43 years.
My S3 at “Golden Gate”, near Clarens in South Africa: (right-click and select “View Image” for best result)
…and next to a youthful athlete next to Sterkfontein (Strong Fountain) reservior :
Not original It falls somewhere between opalescent gun metal and silver
this pic is probably the winner. (cough)
How can that be the winner, shouldn’t the picture at least have a car in it, preferably an E type?
um. no. The hood ornament was enough.
I’ve always been partial to this beauty in Croatia…

And the contest rolls on. Think EARLY E-types…
Well, Bill B 2 said I already won the contest. But just in case CZJones doesn’t count , here is a picture of the very first E Type that Phillip Porter restored and owns. I read the book and as you can see the cover states it is the very first E type. You said to think early E Types well here it is. Except that a picture of it was posted way back up this thread by yourself with Sir William Lyons standing beside it at a cafe in Geneva with the press all around it.
And if you go waaaayyyy up the thread… Jerry Dodds posted a picture of it before that.
I may not quite be crying Uncle, but has your photo been posted yet?
