Description
Authors: Dr.Thomas F. Haddock and Dr. Michael C. Mueller, Hardnound, 516 Pages, ISBN: 9781854432841 - First Published, March 2017
This book on Jaguar E-type originality is based on research spanning almost five decades, and Drs. Haddock and Mueller include here extensive new information from an exhaustive four-year examination of the Mueller collection of over fifty E-types.
As such, the book is archaeological in nature, based more on observations of cars than on factory publications or other literature.
The examination of principally un-restored cars, many partly or completely disassembled and still retaining their original configuration, permitted discovery of much detailed information not reported before. T
he large volume of data used in the compilation of this work permitted statistical analysis of production changes that would be impossible with a smaller data-set.
It significantly advances the understanding of the original configuration of these remarkable cars -
A few of the many topics treated in the book are:
Variations between early and late E-type Moss transmissions
An analysis of engine block and head part numbers and configurations, especially the complex and numerous variations of 4.2-liter engine blocks
A review of the myriad of small sheet-metal variations in the tub, bonnet and doors, especially the subtle changes in coupe bodywork in early in 3.8-liter E-type production
Hidden markings on instruments
Review of the subtle variations in the early cooling fan motors
Coupe sun-visor evolution
Markings and tags on carburetors
Markings on the various tires originally supplied on E-types
