Try to inspect the sides of the block for any recent coolant stains and signs of any mayonnaise-type gloop lurking underneath the oil filler cap, which could indicate coolant has mixed with the engine oil. Any light rattling ...
The E-type’s double wishbone front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering is mounted on the lower longitudinal rails supporting the engine, while the car’s complex rear independent rear setup is contained in a pressed steel cage bolted to the floor pan.

The good news is that every bit of hard and soft trim inside a Jaguar E-type’s cabin is available from specialist suppliers. The bad news is that a full interior re-trim for either a roadster or coupé will be a wallet bustlingly expensive exercise.

Playing 1…e6 and only then playing 2…d5 constitutes the French Defense to the King’s Pawn Opening. Of course, the obvious downside to spending a move preparing to strike before lashing out in the center is that white gets another move to bolster their center!
