Thumbs up Pleased to Meet You

I have just discovered the forum.
I have a 1967 E-type coupe that cost all of $2700.00. Those were 1970 dollars, to be honest.
My car has undergone some alterations over the years, but nothing that could not be un-done by the next owner, if he or she insists on experiencing the joys of pizza-cutter size tires and Lucas electrics.
While I am now on the third transmission, the engine is original and has been overhauled just once in 110,000 miles, caused by a broken piston ring. It is as reliable as an anvil, which I attribute to keeping the "carbon off the valves"!
I am in the process of installing some very nice-looking XJ6 seats in the car, provided I can find a wiring diagram. The prospect of tracing each wire in a bundle that contains enough wiring for a small town is on the daunting side of things, though. Why the original seats are no longer in the car is another story.
If anyone has a lead on accquiring the diagrams for the XJ seats, I would be grateful in hearing from you.
