Default Boot Cover Options

I have recently purchased a 1996 Jag XJS and it didn't have a boot cover. I've been to EBay and checked out some for sale. Does anyone know of reliable place to purchase?
Also, looking for seat options (driver's seat needs help). Any cup holder options w/o replacing the beautiful wood trim (I know it's a luxury car, but I need my coffee ). 1st post, many to come... Thanks for any help!

I bought my boot cover from e-bay. The material itself is OK but I only have two buttons left on it

Seats, you can do Autoberry, Ghaa, Pauls Jag, etc. all have different prices.

My solution for cupholders is going to be fiting a X300 armrest on mine. There are after market ski slopes that come with cup-holders where the ashtrays used to be , but in my opinion the two useless ashtrays are in keeping with the cars character.

I purchased my ski-slope with cup holders from British Autotwood.

The quality is excellent, but unfortunately none of the bezels fit in because of the thickness of the metal used to back the wood veneer.

I plan on fixing that this summer when I have some time.

You will have to (a) remove the A/C to the back seat to fit the cup holders in. I don't see that as a major problem considering the interior is so small and there is rarely ever anyone sitting in the back. You will also have to (b) make sure you don't expect to use anything larger than a can of soda for the cup holder since they are sized only for that diameter. Basically coffee cups without the holder rings work, and a few travel-mugs, you just have to make sure you know what to look for.

In my opinion, it is well, well worth the modification.

Thanks for the help! For now I don't want to replace the trim that's in great condition, and will look for the X300 arm rest. Ebay seems my temp solution for the boot. Again, thanks for the responses.

I'm going to swap for a cup-holder slope, but I'm still interested in the armrest. Do you mean the console lid, and if so, is it a direct swap in an XJS, or will it not fit cleanly?

Yes the cubby/console lid.

There is a member on the other forum that posted a pic of his facelift interior with the x300 lid on the interior. Let me try to bring it over so we can have a visual aid
