Hi Everyone

Anyone else working with a Series I XJ?
I'm still working on my 1973 XJ Series I. I have had her for about 8 years now and have been having a lot of fun tweaking and modding.
I need a good source for parts for this body. A few years ago, I could not find Series I fuel tanks so I bought Series II tanks and then swapped over the fittings. Stuff like that I can do but right now I am looking for front & rear window gaskets. I cannot make those myself! : )

Hoping to get an XK convertible when I'm old.

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
I just picked up an XK8 convertible yesterday, does that mean I'm over the hill?

You should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

No, it doesn't, it means you have equisite taste.
I truly love the look of this car, and have test driven a beautiful sand beige example in Florida where we often winter. If it had not had some mechanical issues the lemon - orchard dealership would not rectify on my acquisition, I would have gotten it. Most assuredly the price was unbelievably low, as this occurred about 2 years ago as the recession was hitting Florida hard.

Have you had any electrical issues yet at all, and where would you source a reliable fix from if you had them ? a Trusted dealer or an Independent repair shop ?
Thanks !

 

For a Series 1 XJ, may I suggest you also look at our UK suppliers, most of whom ship internationally. Here's one with your screen seals -
