Thanks Rich. I'm just fiddling about with bits, awaiting the next batch. One thing I have noticed, many series 1 E Types with the 3.8 engine had a temp sensor in the expansion tank that went to the fan. I thought it would add a bit of extra detail to fit one. Very straightforward - an old small metal fitting from my bits box, two wires and a bit of heat shrink. Sorted. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

I'm not going to weather this one. It's a Jaaaagggg and should be showroom. Only a small bit done here as I'm waiting for the next batch of bits. The heater box actually has a control valve on the 'engine' side and a return spring mechanism on the outside. I decided to add them just to fill a small empty space. The spring is made from fine wire wrapped around a dressmakers pin. The arm and bracket are plastic and the rod is part of a pin. I've also added some period correct decals to the shock absorbers. Next??? roymattblack attached the following image(s):

I've got the floor parts and I see there's a carpet pattern embossed into the plastic which indicates there will be no actual carpets supplied. Answer...? I made my own using paper patterns which took an age to make. I chose a 'biscuit' colour for the carpets as it's a colour Jaguar actually used on green E Types, and it goes well with my own light tan seats. I'm quite chuffed with the result. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

No carpets-for such an expensive subscription this is disappointing; I'll have to go the route you chose and make patterns for carpeting as well I guess. Roy, will you be offering any of those wonderful seats for sale ever again?
