Hello from Nova Scotia

Hi all,
I'm an ex-pat Brit, 26 years in Nova Scotia. I have experience in restoring a Triumph TR6 but none with Jaguars.
I very recently bought a project car, a 1966 3.8 S-type 4 speed with O/D needing a complete restoration. Then interior is in rough shape, the engine reportedly runs but that is about all I know. The car looks complete except for the rear RH passenger door vent window, I'm wondering if it will be a big problem locating a replacement? I recon a six year project at my snail pace work lol.
Cheers
Steve

For unusual replacement parts like that in the USA, I usually turn to Jaguar Heaven in Stockton California who operate a large Jaguar recycling yard. There is also Welsh Jaguar in Ohio who I believe also sell used parts. Google them for details. Good luck in your restoration project.

Welcome to the register. As you are in Nova Scotia you might like to make contact with the British Automobile Touring Association of Nova Scotia https://www.batans.ca/ if you haven't done so already. They have a lot of experience with our type of cars and source of spares not to mention great tours of NS and beyond.
