Rubber weatherstripping for Mk V
Can anyone suggest a source for the rubber weatherstripping for the doors and door apertures for a 1950 Mk V? All the usual suppliers in North America have been tried with no luck. Any leads would be much appreciated!

Have you tried SNG Barratt ?
SNG Barratt - The Ultimate Jaguar Parts Specialist
This sort of stuff can be very difficult to find, but the Mark V, with coachwork very similar to a lot of contemporary British cars of the late 40s/early 50s will use stuff available on the auto supplies market of the time as Jaguar could not afford special stuff for their level of production. So it is likely a UK trim supplier may have the stuff. However SNG Barratt seem to have a kit, but may supply some of the stuff separately.

Yes, SNG Barratt have been tried. They do not have it, apparently (I am inquiring on behalf of a friend) - but I will check again. Thanks for the response.
