Default Picked up a 90 XJS convert..........

Now I need a source for miscellaneous bits and pieces, ie: window seals, emblems, interior wood and such. Prefer US companies.


TIA

Congrats

From the looks of your signature, it should be right at home with it's new stablemates.

Paul's Jaguar is a good choice for 'soft parts'....trim bits, weatherstrips, etc. I think they focus on that sort of stuff more than mechanical 'hard parts'.

British Autowood has a good reputation for wood trim.

I have bought from Paul's Jag as well. Can't complain. Have bought a lot of things on eBay as well.

Same year as my girl! Pauls, eBay in general, Jim Clark (jcmgaguy@gmail.com) for some hard to find parts like window motors...

I have purchased body parts from Paul in the past. (Facelift body parts are not always easy to find)

Easy to deal with, a bit of craziness, but who isn't a little crazy in their own way.

I ordered a part from him on Friday and I followed up with another question on a phone call the following Monday. He went crazy on the post office, how I should have gotten my part by then. (Mailed Friday, couldn't have expected it Monday unless it was Express, which it wasn't)

I tried explaining why it was ok, but it only made him angrier, so I just listened.

Just ordered my first parts from SNJBarret, and was surprised at how great they were priced, and look forward to the delivery.

Pauls does things the old fashioned way...you have to call them. Seriously. And you usually have to leave a message, but someone will call you back that day most times, even if its 8-9 o'clock at night.

I just came across this Jag on e-Bay, it looks like a steel for someone who wants a very low mileage great looking car for peanuts.

Pauls Jaguar readily admite their website is screwed up, and are quick to say please phone as they much prefer to deal mano a mano. Their website listings are very sparse, but they do carry a large stock.

This ebay car does look like an H & E. From every pictures the top looks wrong for an original Jaguar convertible. Most prob. worth more !!

Yeah, it's an H&E. The factory drop-top didn't come along until 1989.
At the moment, the car is at just $6500 with 25 bids, and just under 2 days left on the auction.
