Greetings all and Merry Christmas,
I am now fully retired, and have a lovely new 48 x 36 Shop with a 2 post lift.
My treasures are now inside drying out, and ready to be brought to life once again.
So I have lost connection with the many parts houses I had over the years and would like your inputs as to who has the best prices and supply for parts.
This would be US based and I am looking for future repairs. So I need the whole gamut.
I am familiar with Terrys, and Jagbits. Who would you recommend?
Thanks
Bobmo

I've had good luck with those you've mentioned as well as SNG Barratt, Coventry West, Motorcars LTD., Paul's Jaguar, Welsh Jaguar. Also Rock Auto, FCP euro.

Parts quality varies. Be careful. True OEM vs high quality aftermarket vs low grade aftermarket requires homework and asking questions before ordering...no matter who you buy from.

For used parts EverydayXJ is best, IMO. Honest, good stuff, very fair prices

Cheers
DD

Terry's... good luck... Jag bits... hold on to your wallet

SNG Barret still has some stuff, David Bodger of Everday XJ for used bits. Lots of good parts are dispersed at this point so so check ebay and craigslist often and enjoy the hunt.

Welcome to "retired" life.


As to the parts update, I agree. the only thing I might add is that David Boger has collected a lot of NOS parts. Not too far from you, either.

+1 for David @ EverydayXJ, he has helped me with bits over here on the other side of the planet, very easy fella to work with.

Congrats on retirement, garage, toys etc. I am about 5 years ahead of you on the same path, dont know how I had time to work sometimes :-)

Thanks All,
I'm looking forward to getting back in to the JAG works.
I'm sure I will be back more as the dramas unfold.
