THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

I do not get the warning with any of my 4 browsers.

but there is no info. about its VIN, no pictures of the data plate either.

As a result of this post http://www.jagstyperegister.com/forum_n ... t=10#p2939, I looked at Newsletter vol 7 no 5 (from 2013) and found this, which looks like it might be the same car:

That's weird! I'm also getting the security notice but it worked fine for days. No plate or VIN was shown. Let's give it a day or two. Maybe it will be fixed.

David I am getting the same notice now and yet previously it allowed me to view the site and the photos. There were no photos showing the vin plate and no information in the sellers description either.
If we could get back to the website perhaps a phone call to the auction house might get the results you want. If it had been a UK site I would have made the call but I will let someone on your side of the pond do that.

Glyn,
I get a warning that the web address that you hve above is "not secure" and my browser will not connect
Can you get through and check the chassis number?
Thanks
David

+1^ ~ Me too but I'm very originality conscious. It is probably very nice to drive with the 4 speed OD Auto. Less frenetic cruising.

Reinwald is not the current owner. The current owner has fitted the GM T700 4 speed/overdrive transmission.

"Restored" is an overused term. Somewhat renovated is closer to the truth with many cars.

I don't think that gearbox came with the car from the the factory as the speedo take off is a transducer and the propshaft looks aftermarket. The radiator looks like one of the cheap Chinese items. If I was paying $50k I'd want something a lot better.

The guy that "restored" this S Type is supposed to be great at what he does, according to his own write ups I think. A couple of things that I have noticed looking closer at the pictures are,
That alloy radiator? If its restored why not an original radiator?
What has he done to the air box?
The Auto Gearbox does not appear to have a bell housing? You can see the flywheel and the red Torque converter. Is it the original gearbox?
Lastly if it was a proper restoration surely the underside of the car should be the same colour as the top of the car not hidden under a swath of black underseal?
Just my opinion.
