I replied to both the news group and your sending address.
I scan almost every day, there might be some sort of glitch but I have
not detected it.

The problem with the V12s is that many E Type owners replaced them with
Chevy V8s as they did not understand how to keep them running.  There
were only 7000 roadsters and 7000 2+2s built and I estimate at least
half of those were scrapped out eventually.  Many of those left were
bought by Europeans and Japanese.  I have been told my car is worth
about three times as much in the UK as here.  Unfortunately mine does
not have the original engine and the paint is not one of the original
colors.  Also I have had a high efficiency radiator made for it.  They
just could not handle the 100 deg. F temperature of the South West US
and many engines were wiped out for that reason.  There were probably
quite a few in Los Angeles but driving to Las Vegas turned out to be
fatal in many cases.  It is still one of the best looking cars on the
road and people look any time I take it out.  I have a XJ 12 block in it
and that actually helps as the compression is lower than the original E
Type, I had the heads rebuilt and it can run on lead free fuel.  The
original had valves and seats that needed leaded petrol.  I have the
original radiator and radio which has also been replaced with one that
has a CD player and I put in better speakers with a 100 amp amp, and a
woofer. My next project is to have the wheels sealed so that I can run
tubeless tires (tyres to you).  Actually I would like to be able to use
a wider tire but I do not think they will clear for turning.  I also
have to get some rear rotors that have been drilled for better cooling.
 The rear brakes were also noted for over heating.

It is not really an easy car to work on.  It takes about twelve hours to
remove the engine and about the same to install it.  To work on the rear
suspension you have to remove the whole rear assembly.  The carburetors
have a diagram that gets leaks and has to be replaced and the needle
valves wear down affecting the mixture.  They sold for a low price for a
car with that performance but when people had to pay $500 for a tune up
in the 1970s they were allowed to sit and deteriorate.

However, when it is running well it is really fun to drive.  They handle
great and the V12 makes for a smooth acceleration and great power.
