ALAN HAMES - C. Eng, MICE, MCIHT

Alan Hames (C. Eng, MICE, MCIHT) has been a member of The Jaguar Drivers Club – the largest Jaguar Club in the world, based in UK but open to members worldwide – for many years.  He has served as a Director of the Main Club for 24 years and was subsequently appointed an Honorary Life Member for his services.

Alan bought a new E Type S3 Roadster in 1972, which he still owns and cherishes, and with which he has been a multiple concours winner – even after the adventures described in The Legend of AVV 1.

Alan’s contributions relate specifically to his vast experience of owning, maintaining and displaying this beautiful car – but many of the problems and challenges he has faced and overcome over the years are applicable to many other models of a similar era. You be the judge!

The following articles are reproduced with Alan’s consent and permission – but please be aware that Alan retains the copyright to these articles, and re-producing, copying or re-distributing these articles and any images therein, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited without specific and prior permission from the Author.
