What was in these spaces? See caption for each photo.


Maybe a little rubber flap in here eons ago?

behind the annoy bumper bolts and below the head lights a horizontal bolt hoop at either side, what did it once support??

 

the headlight washers when equipped with headlight wipers.

 

This is where the optional under-bumper fog lights / driving lights were mounted. I've got them on my Series 3.

 

thats cool!

 

must look for an image of that

 

THere you go...

 

Hello, Aden,
I remember you, been wondering what happened to you actually.
(';')

 

Hey Markdpeter, You must have flipper the negative. Your steering wheel is on the wrong side!. Ian

 

Ian, how very dare you! It's an English car relaxing where it was born - you fellows with steering wheels on the wrong side of the car are a complete menace!

That picture was actually taken at the Jaguar Collection in Gaydon, about 25 miles from where the car was built.... Worth a trip if you're ever this side of the Atlantic.

 

Just kidding! Great specimen - you should be proud. Just love the foglamps. Ian

 

The correct lamps for the Series III cars are Cibié Airport 35 lamps.

 

I've got the Cibié Optique 35's which I managed to track down in Belgium. I've actually got two sets of yellow lenses for them - fog and driving options. I've got pictures of the car fitted with the originals out of the factory but by the time I took ownership they were gone. Any idea what the difference is between Airport and Optiques, Gregory?

 

As far as I am aware, the difference is only in the lens colouring because the Airport 35 also had both a driving and a fog lens available, and I have had both. Marketing of the lamp for the French market probably required a French designation ("Optique"), no?
These are the Arport 35 lamps with the driving lamp lens:

 

Hello! Yes, I get distracted from glueing the old car together by ordinary old life now and then and get back to it when I remember. It's a race between me and rust, with rust up 3 points.
-Aden

 

those wiper things for the headlights are wild insane creations.!
