This video is 6 years old so may have already made the rounds here.

But have to admire his efforts.



(Although, he obviously hasn't seen Eric's Captain Seats!)

.

 

Really like the wood accent on the door pockets.

 

Yes, I liked those too.

And I also liked the wood veneered covers on the inside doors over the door mirror access area.




I found it ironic that he has a wood veneered sunglasses pouch, but doesn't have a wood veneered overhead console, which the standard VDP has.

 

Did you notice it was in Drive at the 2:48 mark? I have to agree with KC, those wood accents are quite nice. I wonder if I can get my local guy to make them for mine? I also like the wood cup holder and ashtray cover, nice contrast.

 

Yes, drive or neutral, I think he was just getting a head-on shot of the fancy engraved gearshift knob.

 

I would never drive it for fear of getting a smudge or something on those pristine seats. I take it the original owner contacted Jaguar and said he wants the customized interior? Wonder what that costs?

 

From Jag, ..probably will refer you to someone like my upholsterer. Unless they are a custom retailer, they tend to defer such things. My local Jag dealer also does Maserati and Astin Martin, so they only know part numbers and if there isn't a part number, there's nothing done.

 

JaguarDaly:

Cool story with a happy ending, glad you were able to get it back, and welcome to the forum.

what could go wrong?
53k is pretty low mileage - there are many on here who have run 3 or 4 times that distance.
As someone already noted, keep your other car for a daily driver.
Your navigation system is useless technology from 15 years ago.
The fiber optic bus for the Nav/CDC/DVD/voice can give you trouble too, but its actually fairly simple.
Your battery is probably due to be changed if someone hasn't already.
Your headliner may get saggy.
But they are beautiful cars, few and far between, and with 50k on the clock, you will enjoy it for years to come.
Your air shocks might be getting ready to start leaking.
