The items I pointed out were to serve as examples to illustrate the fact that the refurbishment of this car, which is claimed to have been done by two JCNA Judges, appears to have cut a lot of corners. Who plug welds the outer sill to the floor panel, and doesn't even bother to grind off the protruding plugs? Who doesn't replace the steel heater pipes behind the firewall, but replaces them with rubber hoses in the engine bay? Who inserts a fuel pump in the rear suspension cavity because the submerged fuel pump in the fuel tank has failed? Maybe some of these failures took place after the refurbishment, I don't know. But since none of them were revealed by the seller, who can't be expected to be as familiar with these cars as those who have owned and worked on them for many years, I thought it appropriate to point them out to potential bidders who may have taken the \"two JCNA judges\" comment as a guarantee of quality and authenticity. This car is not being presented as a 100 point Concours car, so I agree that it's not appropriate to \"nit-pick\" about items being period-correct or not. I tried to avoid that.

That will support a premium bid and the satisfaction of the buyer given the market at the time.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand the bidder wants to acquire a \"driver\" then other details, perhaps not according to JCNA, may, or may not as the case may be, come into play.\r\n\r\nThe question is, what is the proposed buyer's interest? Investment or Driving? \r\n\r\nIn my humble opinion, these cars were made to drive and not to be hauled on trailers to JCNA shows. I won many but still drove my cars. I think, at the end of the day that the time at a \"show\" could have been better spent taking a drive and having the enjoyment of the car, whose purpose was intended.\r\n\r\nI believe that BaT is a fabulous forum for commentators such as yourself davidxk to express your opinion since that only informs the buyer in such circumstances as this.\r\n\r\nHaving been an owner of an E-Type in 1966 when new, I never knew the particulars of these issues until the hobby in later years became an \"investment,\" which I personally eschew. I still have some original Coventry cars that are described in my previous posts.\r\n\r\nThat said, The proposed bidder must make a choice: \r\n\r\nDo you want a JCNA perfect car, in which case davidxk is informative and you may win a a silver \"concours platter\" (of which I have some) ; or, on the other hand do you want something that is a car to drive that will excite you, as my '66 did for me in that year?\r\n\r\nNat King Cole (whom I met) had an early E-Type. Natalie, his daughter reminisced that he drove her around in his '62, and drove the car fast. These cars were fun to drive, and I can tell you, the most amazing cars in their day compared to the rest of the world, perhaps except Ferraris, however half the price. I can also say that when driving top down on unlimited speeds in Nevada in 1966, the exhaust manifold burned orange lighting up the bonnet like a Halloween candle. Try to do that with a trailer queen. \r\n\r\nPlease accept comments on BaT as helpful to a potential buyer, and not take offense to criticism. Keep in mind that this is big dollars at this time in our uncertain future and should be spent with well informed opinions.\r\n\r\nGLWTA - great looking car- in my opinion buy it to drive it.
