So I have an S-Type, but I LOVE picnic tables. I've seen the threads about retrofitting x type Jags with VDP seat backs/picnic tables. Does anyone have any idea if the seatbacks also interchangeable with S types?
I'd take some measurements / buy used from a wrecker (ebay etc).
I don't let anyone eat or drink in my car, though!
I was thinking about just installing the wood grain covers in the upright position from an XJ8 VDP, as someone locally had on Craigslist, but I was late on the draw (they were on the other side of town, so I had an excuse). My idea was for cosmetic reasons only. I like JagV8's rule, though.
I think there was some thought about doing this as I have pictures of the Lincoln LS rear tray tables that never made it to production for the LS.
Since the early S-Type and the LS were very close the seat backs "might" interchange. But I have no idea where to find these since this is the only set I have ever heard of.
And no the seat backs don't interchange with other Jags that I know of.
There's a low volume VDP S-Type out there (I've never seen one personally), and I'm wondering if it has the trays mounted on the correct S-Type seat backs. The burl wood pattern of those pictured seems to match the ST, but the plastic would need Krylon paint to match the Jag's....if it was a close fit.
