Quote from E-Type Lovers personal page:

Here is my humble contribution to the photo album, a recent picture of my '63 OTS in its new home town of Bergen, Norway. I apologise for the lack of polar bears, they tend to avoid direct sunlight on hot summer days. ;-)

About the car: S1 OTS LHD #879727, a 20-footer if ever there was one, arrived in Norway in November 97, after 34 years in the U.S.A. Its original op. dark blue/light blue colour combination has been changed to all black, but I have plans... The engine has matching numbers, but gearbox and brakes have been uprated to 4.2-spec.

I was looking for a solid, rust-free, running car with plenty of room for improvement. Well, what I got was a car that actually seems to be almost rust-free (at least I haven't found any rust yet), but that seems to need a lot of attention before it could be called a "solid driver".

JagTips is absolutely great, I hope that you'll keep it going forever!

Just a small correction: The original interior colour was Light Blue, not Light Tan. Even if the colour combination Opalescent Dark Blue/Light Blue was not officially available in 1963, this is how the car was finished. (Both according to the JDHT certificate and evidence found in the car.)
