Hugh,
Your pictures make me want to kick myself in the rear and get to work on my Jag. Engine is much the same and car is about 70% restored now. Course being overseas working for the last 5 months make that a bit difficult. Coming home in 24 hours and cannot wait to get back in the car.
My first experience with the DB cars was with a DB-4 owned by one of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. I knew some friends of theirs and was well known in our area as one of the Brit car guru's. In other words I knew how to make SU carbs work.
Did some work on his car then we lost touch when I moved to AZ but really enjoyed the car.
Hope you drive that to Vegas!

Edit, I had the same problems with my Jag on overheating. Took the radiator out and had it recored with an extra row of cooling tubes. Never had a problem after that. Might look into that on your car.
