Fortunately it stopped at the same time, a car, and I was able to with the fire of the flames to be extinguished. At the same time, a resident with a tuinslag and extinguished, we are of the engine compartment. Just in time, because the flames were really high too. Immediately afterwards, the fire and opened the hood. It turned out that the air filter melted to it. Maybe there is a problem with the cooling system. What a shame, because the car is a pure pleasure to my father. I took a short afternoon to come along for a ride for too long to dwell on it, it is never a good thing for these cars. And just a little over two miles further on same thing happened.” The Jaguar E-type with its 5.3-litre V12 engine is the original with a 272-horsepower under the hood, it was hoisted.
