It's a LJB6318AA:
https://www.jaguarclassicparts.com/uk/part/LJB6318AA

24 Euros doesn't sound too bad a price, considering - only the minimum order from bidsonmotors.com is 100 Euro, so the OP will end up with a few spares

71monteme doesn't say what car he has - S N G Barratt (who are usually pretty reliable) list LJA6318AB as the plastic "frame surround" for the radio & switches etc., and that's the number on mine (1997-XK8).
The LJB6318AA may, or may not, be exactly the same - difficult to be sure from the photographs and diagrams but worth double checking before parting with money !!

Hello!
Did you or anyone else ever use Bidson motors to buy some parts? I too am considering using their service but something seems a bit dodgy?
Kind regards,
Adam

Welcome to the forum Adam,

What could possibly be a 'bit dodgy' about a company based in Ipswich but unable to spell the town correctly on their contact page or quoting a Company Registration number that doesn't exist in the Companies House database?

Hello Graham,
Sorry I did not follow new member procedure. As much as I love Jaguars I do not own one. I was following up on a scam alert for bidson motors. Probably best to inform the motoring community in general regardless of make and model!

They have since updated their company details with more bogus information based in Somerset.
More info here:

Happy motoring!
Adam
