Very attractive, but I still prefer the 1.5" shirling mats, that Bentley and Rolls Royce use. On trips over an hour, I drive without shoes, because my left heel hurts, from shattering it in an accident. Then again, the Rolls' mats do sell for over $1200. They look good to me........Be cool......Mike

I really like the $320 kit. If they have a bit of a sale, I might bite!

I think the mats I have in her now are about 3 inches long. You can buy your own hides on Ebay for less than $75, different lengths, colors and sizes. These shearling mats will last for a few years. I just cut the shape, and put a couple of slits at the end, where they mount. They really help with road noise also. I don't use them in my cars, that get wet, except in my X Type. Those dry and clean up pretty quickly. Hope you like the pics....and Happy New Year!!!......be cool.....Mike

Ok that's cool. I think my friend's Afghan hound has less and shorter hair than those. I bet it's super nice for long trips as you suggested.

Well I looked at the site and they are offering a total of $160 discount if ordered by today with free shipping. That's $160 for the premium set. Not a bad deal.

My 03 XK8 is not listed on the site but an 04 XK is, likely a site typo issue as there is no 04 XK.

Sent them an email and advised if they can make a set for my 03 XK8 and apply all discounts for a total of $160 I'll buy them.

Will see what they come back with.

Still looking for a set for my car. The biggest problem is trying to match the color, and including the word "Jaguar". Apparently you have to be licensed from Jaguar to use that word with the proper typeface. I could live without the "Jaguar" name, but the color contrast with the OEM carpet is an issue. Tried GG Bailey, Lloyd, and a few other places with no luck. Too bad the later model mats (2006+) don't fit; plenty of them available.

You have the wrong continent and ten thousand miles out.


Think Morgan cars.......... I did know Charles Morgan, though there are no Morgan family left in Morgan Cars.
