THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Thanks Glyn. I can't find that product on their website at the moment so maybe it's out-of-stock. It looks as if the retainers came with it?

I think my 3.8 engine does not sound as smooth as it should, and almost certainly some under bonnet insulation (there's none on the boot-lid either) would improve things. Does anyone know if anywhere in the UK has them made-to-measure? Perhaps they have to be made up, but that would not be a persona...

I’d like to order an S type cover in the UK, largely for use in my [very dusty] garage but preferably also with water-proof qualities so that the cover can be used outside when occasionally necessary. Does anyone have any recommendations? My car has the period wing-mirrors which do rather stick out ...

I was also looking for a plastic horn cover for the original steering wheel as mine is cracked. Those on ...

Thank you — this is all very helpful. It's a bigger project (and search) than I thought it would be. I wonder how and why it came off.

I shall go to Stoneleigh as I'm based in the UK.

Does anyone know where or how I might get hold of a a heater knob? The left side one is missing on my car.
