Jaguar E-Type Six-Cylinder Originality Guide
by Dr. Thomas F. Haddock with Dr. Michael C. Mueller
This book on Jaguar E-Type originality is based on research spanning almost five decades, and Drs. Haddock and Mueller include extensive new information from an exhaustive four-year examination of the Mueller collection of more than 50
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 unrestored cars, many partly or completely disassembled and still retaining their original configuration, permitted discovery of much detailed information not previously reported. The large volume of data used in the compilation of this work permitted statistical analysis of production changes that would be impossible with a smaller dataset. It significantly advances the understanding of the original configuration of these remarkable cars.
A sampling of the many topics treated in the book include:
• 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
