Hi, my name is Bob wouda, 57 years young, living in Holland and retired Cavalry Officer. Crazy about the jaguar E Type. I own a serie 1, 4.2 litre.
I do the full restauration of this jag; the Heritage Department in UK told me on paper that the first owner from this jag was Patricia A. Groshong, Portland, Oregon.
PLEASE try to help me to come in contact with this Patricia or family. It would be so great to have some old pictures or more details about this car.

Hi Stew,
first : thank you so much for your reaction on my topic!!
I made contact with this website and have to wait for any answer. By the way: is there no system in the USA by the jag lovers which can find my jag back in any register in the USA?. I gave you all the details in the upper part from this topic. These details have been checked by the Heritage Department in the UK, but they have no connextion with the records in the USA, Do you have ??
regards,
Bob

Hi Pete,
well the page is too big and I cannot make it smaller for this forum, but see yourself on: http://www.ussearch.com and search for just Patricia Groshong, age is not important in this website as you only put in an age from 18 years and older. The website is safe was told by the sreening from my computer and I am a too big jag member and looking for the old history from my jag that I would send you funmails.
BUT: if this jag was registrated in the USA, and is was for sure
( Portland Oregon)then it must be possible that somewhere in the registration from the e type in the usa must be more information about this jag.
Can you help or know where and how I myself can do. The police department in Portland Oregon cannot help, they already send me that in an email. Also not the City Information in Portland Oregon, so all the help must come from the jag clubs.........or members.........
PLEASE ??
regards, Bob

Hi,
I did try the google search machine and found more groshong family's; I also have email contact with the police department and the city information from Portland.
Till so far I found out that there is living in Lebanon, Oregon a Patricia A. Groshong. perhaps any of you can try to find out some more address details from this patricia in Lebanon, so I can call her or even can make email contact.
see the attachment (I hope you can read this attachment). Please give me a sign. Fine to deal with other jag freaks in this way !! Never thought it would give any reaction, but you are great !!
regards, Bob
