In this video I am explaining individual parts which can easily be confused with non fitting parts. Be aware that only some minor changes decide if you can use or waste it.
In 10 examples I am simply giving the idea how careful you need to source parts and how careful you need to be ordering parts for your E type.
There are hundreds of examples but it would simply take too long explaining them all. Important is to know that the differences are there and to identify them before wasting money and time.

It was 48 years ago when I rebuilt my ‘63 in my moms garage. I’d bought it for $900us. Even though it was only 12 years old it had sat outside with the top down, basically abandoned/neglected but good mechanically. Your video brought back 27:04 lots of memories. Parts were not cheap even then. Headlight glass cover $100, headlight trim ring $75. Windshield was cheap at $35 new.

With regard to the early series 1 4.2 cars there are many transitional parts and the prop rod was used through the first 400 cars and then converted to the scissor prop. It’s also the same with bumpers which bolted through the body into the bumper. The early 4.2 cars it was a mat with the attached luggage runners ( the chrome luggage runners were for 64 cars and the first 400 65 cars) and they went to the covered 11 ply plywood with luggage runners screwed to the boards. The hinge covers were steel up through early 65 then made from some plastic material. I own the 168th 4.2 coupe and played hell finding the right parts. Hours of research on this subject. 😊 thanks

Very informative Maikel. I have been a Member of the JEC for nearly 20 years and a lover of E-Types but never knew the rear end profile/valley was different after the first 1000 FHCs, hence different rear lights! Do Lucas cater for all rear lamp types when buying new?

Do I need to cancel this Trial membership after 90 days?

Not sure if it applies to parts for Jaguars, but the quality of parts for MGs these days are simply shocking. I now expect that even if a parts fits it will last 12 months, if you're lucky!

My co-worker’s mom left him an e-type when she died. He never used it and it has sat for over 20 years in his garage. 🫤
