Esprit's is in the Hawke's Bay but coming to Auckland soon IIRC. There will be some down there, its just a matter of finding the best way of contacting them.

Thanks for your help guys! I was trying to track down an e-type owner cos my Ma is resident in CH CH and has a mad passion for E Types. She is 67 next weekend and I would lve to help her live her dream with a ride out in a Jagwaaaar!

I drive a 10 year old XJR saloon ( 4 litre supercharged with 320 BHP ) and if you guys ever get a chance to drive one, take it and revel in the 'grace pace and space'! Slater

Unfortunately my father's car isn't quite far-south enough and is still on the wrong (north) island. There's a place down there called "upper classics" that have a couple I think... they're a restorer and seller of classics and I THINK they (being a private collection) sometimes do rides for a fee.... do a google on them, you should be able to find a website or phone number.

Good luck... sounds like a fantastic idea!

After being sick and tired of the thing being built in the garage for seven years, my mother finally got to have her first proper ride in the E-Type the other day.... and she didn't like it! some people eh? :P she'll come round
