Thats an absolute bargain the postage charge is high but many do that so as not to lose commission on everything. The hood is off a car that was recently for sale at Robert Hughes so should be in good condition.The last good one in Black fetched £100.00 4 years ago.

Just to show I read the posts – Ebay have been charging its 10% sale fees on total sale price including any postage for several years now.
You could always arrange your own courier for £10 ish via any web agent like Parcelmonkey / Parcelto go – even for UPS.. (most sellers don’t mind just havn’t a clue about post/courier costs so go high)

I’m not familiar enough to say for certain but my own suspicion is that this particular cover may have been an aftermarket item and not genuine factory. My reason for thinking this is that there were no press stud fasteners or similar on it, just a sewn in Velcro strip. My own cover does have press studs and I assume is factory original. The parts book also shows press studs were fitted.
What are your covers like? With fasteners? Or just a Velcro strip? Maybe both types were supplied………?

I bought mine brand new in year 2000 from David Manners for £25.00 – they were selling surplus stock in black from Jaguar and it seemed too good to miss!
Mine came with the fasteners in the huge box but not actually fitted. So you match your specific car and hood I assume. Also for anoraks like me – there are two versions/part numbers as with the cab hood and targa panels – Happich & Fosters – both are slightly different cloth weaves.
