Welcome, 2007
Happy new year to all of this site’s visitors! Last year, about 120,000 unique visitors* visited 2.5 million pages on this site. I hope these numbers increase for 2007–the more people that visit, the more car data entered, and the more we know about classic Jaguars. These sites really do become more valuable to users the more data that is present.
Let me know how your experience here can be improved, and I’ll add the idea to the suggestion box.
Some special thanks: This site really should be called “pauldata.” Paul Spurlock is tireless in his quest to add cars to the site, and I’d be willing to conjecture that at least half of the cars currently recorded have been input by his intrepid (and undoubtedly calloused) fingers. Many thanks also to Steven DuChene, Dana Brown, Dave Kerr, Larry Harris, Herve, and Chuck Goolsbee for their continued efforts on behalf of the site. Thanks to Philip Porter, Urs Schmid and Malcolm McKay for their support, as well as my many friends on the Jag-Lovers forums, even if I’m not the favorite son of the XK group!
I hope everyone has a prosperous 2007…who knows, maybe I’ll even get my E-Type back on the road.**
* It should be noted that some of these “unique” visitors were the same person visiting the site at intervals far enough apart that the server software thinks they’re “new” (generally about a month between visits).
** Hah!
Hi, happy new yeah,
I left a few image today on your web site. It is reaaly fantastic to have a website like that.
I use il a lot to compare cars . My car is a E-Type N° 1E75873BW S1 2+2 but the bonnet is a bonnet of S1.5. I am thinking of remove it but it cost quite a lot about 6300 € in France (just the bonnet). Do you have a good tip in order to get a
good price.
Thank for your advice.
I am also looking for a good jag’s club . do you have any contact in France or Switzerland ???
Regards
Etienne alias 1E75873BW

Roger,
I very much appreciate the way the Web site has been upgraded - much more interesting than before. Access to the E-Bay Sites re the Jaguar cars & parts is also a great innovation. But I noticed recently that the parts recorded on E-Bay appear to be specific to the US & about 10 days ago I saw a very attractive tri-set of carbs for a Series 2 OTS available on the UK site at about $1800. Due to scarcity this usuallyarouses great interest in E-Type circles but was not recorded on the E-Bay sites accessed via the XKE Web Site. Something to look at?
Regards
Simon

Heheh, fingers are OK but many of the letters on my keyboard are worn off. Its all good tho because I can still see Z,X, B and ? on the bottom row
I too would like to thank everyone for contributing. Every little piece of the puzzle helps posterity and current caretakers.

Hi Simon, It’s interesting, eBay doesn’t make it easy, far as I can see, to integrate the two sites. I’ll see what I can do.
