Find Parts and Restoration Photographs
Photos available, but database is old!
The previous hosting company had a server outage in early July, and the databases supporting the lookup service were lost. I was able to reconstruct
earlier versions of the databases and other sections of the site.
By clicking on the picture to the right,
you can narrow your search for information on specific sections of the 1963 Jaguar E-Type. The top
view is split into fifteen sections, roughly corresponding to major mechanical or body sections
(e.g., engine, independent rear suspension, boot/trunk). Pictures and parts will appear in
groups divided by their vertical placement — "upper" and "lower" sections, roughly bounded by
a line drawn at bumper level.
The pages that appear will list parts removed from the region that is highlighted, including some
basic information about the part. (This information will become more detailed as time goes on.) Below
the list of parts are pictures of the car at various stages in the restoration process, arranged
chronologically and grouped according to their upper and lower location.
