hello and . . .



I'm new to the list - and delighted to find such a resource.

I live in San Diego CA, USA - have been lusting after an E type since
forever - finally bought a 69 roadster.  I pick it up tomorrow!!! 
Wimbleton white with red connoly leather. Such delicious anticipation. 
This will be a driver - just a fun car - so keep that in mind as I ask
questions.

A few questions - all very elementary I'm sure:

What size and style were the original tires?  I've heard everything from
185 70 15 to 195 70 15; white wall, red stripe.  And having asked what
is "original" - then I'd like to know what works best?

Second - the car has factory air - operational.  I'm kind of thinking of
removing it (for my taste it clutters the look of the cockpit and adds
perhaps a bit too much weight up front).  I'm wondering - is removal
advisable?  Easy, hard, a waste of time . . .? Then of course I'd need a
new center console/radio section because the one in the car is shorter
to allow room for the AC.  Are such items easy to find, install etc? 
Suggestions as to a source?

Undoubtedly many more questions will follow.  Thanks in advance for your
assistance.
