Concessional Registration

By-Law 18 Concessional Registration.

18.01   Members who own cars over 30 years old might be entitled to concessional (Special Interest Vehicle Scheme) (SIVS) registration.

A letter from the JDCQ is required in order to apply for concessional registration.

The letter is provided by the JDCQ Concessional Registration Representative.

18.02   To apply for the concessional registration letter, a member must inform the concessional registration representative of their car’s particulars:

  • make,
  • model,
  • date of manufacture
  • colour,
  • VIN/chassis number,
  • engine number,
  • current registration number (if available)

18.03   Membership of a car club (not necessarily the JDCQ) must be maintained to continue using concessional registration. If the owner is not a member of a car club, the car could be considered to be unregistered.

18.04   If a member’s membership of JDCQ ends then that member must either join another car club or stop having concessional registration on any cars that were on the SIVS through the JDCQ.

18.05   The concessional registration representative keeps a copy of each letter issued to a member to obtain SIVS registration.

18.06    A member who sells a car that has concessional registration must inform the concessional registration representative of the sale and whether the purchaser is a member of JDCQ.

18.07    A member who deregisters a car that was on concessional registration must inform the concessional registration representative so that records may be kept updated.

18.08   The use of cars on concessional registration has limitations. It is a concession whereby special interest vehicles may to be driven on Queensland roads to car club meetings or they may be driven for maintenance and testing purposes. Members with cars on concessional registration must ensure that they are aware of the current permissions from Queensland Transport.

E-TYPE - Engine removal

E-TYPE - Engine removal

Removing the engine and gearbox from an XK engined E-Type is relatively simply. In the original workshop manual, Jaguar list two methods, first to lift the engine out from the top, and the second method is to lower the engine down into a pit. (Later versions of the manual only gives the first method)

For the home mechanic who is concerned about lifting the weight of the engine and gearbox to great heights and who does not have access to a pit, then this second method can be modified. Rather than lowering the engine into a pit, simply lift the car from the engine. See below.

Engine removal 3.8 Litre E-Type

STEP 1

Make padded support for over riders, release bonnet retaining support springs and raise bonnet to the point where there is no load on the bonnet hinges.

STEP 2

Support bonnet from above. Remove hinge bolts and roll car back

STEP 3

Remove exhaust pipes. Release all electrical, fuel, water, tailshaft, etc connections between engine and chassis. Remove radiator head tank. Remove inlet and outlet manifolds. Remove generator. Support weight of engine and gearbox, either with chain block or support from beneath on a suitable trolley. Remove front suspension torsion bars reaction plate. Release RH engine mount. Release LH engine mount and remove support bracket. Release central engine stabilizer. Release rear gearbox mount.

STEP 4

Lower engine and gearbox to support trolley. Fit chain block to top shock absorber mount bolts using suitable jig (two pieces 500mm x 50mm x 3mm flat). With handbrake on and rear wheels securely chocked, begin raising chassis.

STEP 5

Raise car chassis until free of engine, checking regularly for component fouling

STEP 6

Roll engine and gearbox from beneath chassis.

Mission accomplished...

Replacing is the reverse of the above. Enjoy

  • E+F-type Register Drive and Breakfast
    Register your interest now - Our next E+F-type Register Drive and Breakfast is Friday 6th February, 2026. This is a short notice event.  My E-type has returned from the past two events on the back of an RACQ truck.  We now believe the vehicle’s worries are fixed and this drive is to confirm I can get home without RACQ assistance. I will explain the two truck deliveries to any interested attendees on the day. This event will welcome both the faster drivers and also the members who prefer to travel in a convoy. We are travelling west out of Brisbane…
