My E Type Owners List at www.jaguarlinks.com and Peter Wadsworth state that his car 885385 was built on Dec 28. It seems that he has a JDHT Certificate. I doubt that this car which should be the next one out the door after his car, left 16 days earlier.

The Error is already rectified! My car was also built on December 28th. See Chassisplate above. But according to a former owner of 885385 it seems that Peter Wadsworts Bonnet is stamped with my Chassisnumber!

Hello, I like the your car. I have coupe 888373. We are thinking of going Bronze. Can you tell me what paint you used and the color code for the paint from that supplier ?

Thanks, James in San Francisco.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
