Question New Member Here!

Hi, I'm Janet, have a 1956 XK 140 Open Two Seater and a 1957 XK 140 Drop Head Coupe.The DHC is a beauty, scores well in Concours. The OTS had been used for rallies so many changes have been necessary to restore it to Concours condition. It recently scored 99.07, not bad considering how far off it was when I bought it. I joined Jag Forum today hoping to find a source for the 3 strips of chromed trim for the outside of each of the side curtains that I recently bought for my OTS, and possibly a bag for the side curtains. If anyone has suggestions I would be so grateful! Thanks!

Welcome to the forum Janet,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK120/XK140/XK150 forum for help in your search so there's no need for a link to it from me.


Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/
to find other members in your region.

I wish you luck sourcing the parts. Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Default Need Chromed Trim for XK140 Sidecurtains

1956 XK140 Open Two Seater - side curtains each miss the 6 pieces of chromed trim that go on the outside of the window. Can anyone supply these or recommend a supplier, please? I also need a storage bag for the sidecurtains. Would so appreciate any help anyone can give! Thanks, Janet

Janet,

I'ver merged your original Intro thread with this second one.

Here's the link to your 'side curtain' thread in XK120/XK140/XK150 forum:
