Essential Reading by Porter Press
Stirling Moss Scrapbook
1929 - 1954
When the E-type Jaguar was first unveiled in Geneva, Switzerland, in March 1961, no one expected it to be the birth of an icon, rather than merely the launch of an excellent car, but almost immediately the car zoomed into history.

E-type Jaguar DIY, Restoration & Maintenance
A Kind of Loving, Chris Rooke
One of our very own E-type Club members Chris Rooke has made it into print with with this unique, brillantly useful and very readable book.
An expert could not have written this book. Experts start with knowledge and experience, and so inevitably make assumptions and gloss over important details. Chris Rooke had played with classic cars before but had never fully restored one, and knew nothing about E-types. He learnt by trial and error, making mistakes and correcting them. With admirable courage, he does not hide his mistakes but details them for the benefit of others. This book will really help you if you want to work on your E-type or want to know more about the workings.

CMC Expanding!
The already impressive Classic Motor Cars set-up is now even more so. By taking on two more adjacent units, CMC have doubled their floor space, which has allowed considerable reorganisation. The new area is being used for building up cars after paint. So, when a restoration commences, the bodywork (the 'dirty' work) continues to be done in one dedicated shop, while all the other parts are now stored in racking on a mezzanine floor above the new shop. After painting, the shell is taken into the new area, the parts are moved to racking alongside the shell and the fitting up takes
place in a clean, spacious, ideal environment. Partitioned off from this area is a new, larger trim shop (see details below). Additional to this new unit is the existing shop for all servicing and mechanical work (where fitting-up used to take place), the machine shop, engine shop and another new unit for car storage.

Some of our E-type Club members spent a wet and rainy but fun day on Saturday 14th August at the Guards Polo Club, in Windsor Great Park, watching the 'sport of kings' played for the semi-finals of the Duke of Wellington Trophy, from our own dedicated E-type Club parking area.
The rain was set for most of the day but in true E-type Club style members braved their picnics covered with umbrellas. The rain stopped just in time for the horses and riders to come out and impress the crowds with their manovers, speed and expertise.
After a day at the Polo many members went on to join the evening cruise on the Thames and were able to enjoy the wonderful views and catch up with fellow members.
Sunday was the scenic run through the local area.

A Big Thank you to Our Specialists!
We thank all or our specialists who either helped sponsor the E-type Club weekend and or who attended the event.
Our sincere thanks go to SNG Barratt as without them the event wouldn't have been what it was. SNG kept the day flowing with bottle after bottle of champagne and the bottles all came with an E-type Club label. The champagne was very much appreciated and so was the sponsorship which we received to help support this event. A big thank you to Julian Barratt and team.
MWS Wire Wheels had a very impressive stand and not only helped to keep members in the dry during the down pour but they were also very much a part of the event.
Tim Griffin from Classic Motor Cars made the journey down in the very impressive CMC Project Car. The project car was very much admired by Club members and helped in making a very impressive line-up. Click here to see photos of the Project Car and other specialist images from the weekend.
