Jaguar XKE 1968 - 1978
Description:

My wife has had a neck injury and needs protection for her neck while driving. My 1966 S1 XKE 2+2 has original seats with no headrests. She doesn't like to ride in it, because there's a chance of having her neck further damaged.

So... I'm looking for a set of E-Type seats that will have headrests, like those found in the later Series 2 and Series 3 cars. I don't really care too much about the condition, so long as they are basically sound platforms to start with. I will be totally refurbishing them and putting on new leathers to match my existing interior (red). 

I could use Miata seats, but I really hate to move so far away from originality. Later Jaguar XKE seats would still look reasonably period correct in a Series 1 XKE Coupe, but Miata seats would be of a glaringly new-style, so I'd prefer not to go that route. 

Willing to travel to collect them if needed.  

Thank you for any help you can offer in finding a set!

Cheers,
Kevin

I have a pair of black seats in a 71 E-Type that I may be convinced to sell. The leather isn't bad and I think only the padding needs replaced. They are black.

Thank you, Stephen! They look like they'd be exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm in eastern PA, so I could easily drive out to pick them up.

Would you be able to shoot me a text? Then we can begin to communicate offline re price, details, pickup dates, etc? I am in area code 215, and my number begins with 272, and finishes off with 3320.

Thanks!!
Cheers,
Kevin
