So a coupe and a 2+2 !

I learned to fly on the DH Chipmunk, based at Yeadon Airfield near Leeds, W Yorkshire.
Yes, it was a lovely aircraft to learn on, loved it to bits, and the canopy never rattled that I remember, to add to a later comment on this thread.
And further on in my career I flew the DH Heron, DC3/C47, the Avro 748 and …the Comet!
But those Comets were the 4 series, not the tragic Comet 1’s that the BOAC picture shows.

I owned a lovely Chipmunk for about 4 years, WP797. It’s the nicest flying airplane I’ve ever flown. Here’s a photo from a pilot that trained in it. I think the photo is from the 1960’ but I’m not sure.

I thought the Topic was Etype photos. It’s now been 13 posts since we’ve seen anything like a photo of an E-Type. To avoid being guilty of making it 14 I attach a photo of Earl after a quick wash and wax after the 1700 mile Santa Fe trip:

Thank you, David. …

I would love to see some photos of the headlight structure inside the bonnet. I am curious as to how it was done.

[Wiggles (Paul Wigton)]

Golly, thanks for getting us all on track again!

Thread drift, in a 1800+ post is just awful…

Wow David, I’ve never seen a quad headlight e-type before!
The mod must have been quite extensive, did you do it?o

[Allrand (Randall Botha)]

Good looking car. I don’t know why they had to spoil the Series 3 with that grill & surround.

[Allrand (Randall Botha)]

How cool would that look with plexiglass light covers alla Ferrari 360.

No. Jaguar did. Some of the history is described here:

“Quad Headlight” E-Type

I’ve never really cared for that car. But someone will find it “neater 'n dog farts”, as they say in Colorado. “Abstainer” A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. Writer Ambrose Bierce

[TriQpilot]

That just happens to be my next step!
I purchased, some time ago, a covered headlight kit from Merek, hopefully to be fitted this winter, health permitting!
I am looking for a look similar to Pascal’s E Type, pictures posted October 7th on this thread.

Cheres, Paul

[rk62ots (Robert Kellogg)]

David that’s a beautiful car with an interesting history. We would love to hear more about your experience with it.

A little Photoshop dabbling last night:

[Thelastrodeo (Larry Trom)]

Photoshop? Naw, Me thinks yours looks quite like that naturally, Jeff

[Wiggles (Paul Wigton)]

I’d buy a canvas print of that!

[Jcrosby (Jeffrey Crosby)]

You’re kind of right - it does look like that. But in Photoshop I darkened the background to focus on the engine and added a little oil paint effect. I may do a print for a little garage art.

[Wiggles (Paul Wigton)]

@Jcrosby

I may do a print for a little garage art.

If you email me a reasonably higher resolution file, I can get it done on canvas.

[Dagenham (Ben E)]

I’ve posted pics of this ‘wide body’ car before, but these are some new ones that I’ve never seen.

There are a few thing I would have done differently, but it’s a great looking car.

‘wife body’ car before, but these are some new ones that I’ve never seen.

He must have a very curvy wife!

[Wiggles (Paul Wigton)]

That car… Does interesting things to my naughty bits.
