Hi Robin,

There is a feature called @Mention available to all members already – simply include the member’s UserId with the @ sign infront of it and that member gets a notification they’ve been mentioned in the topic/reply @memberid

Click Here to see that article about that feature.

Hi Robin

The Lady Diana Cabriolet only ever had the hardtop fitted – never the folding hood. This I understand was for two safety reasons – risk around rear passengers being garotted on the T’Bar if not wearing seatbelts properly, and secondly the safetly of royals from attack.

I believe that Gerben Haringsma reconstructed the rear board when he was restoring his Cabriolet.

Hi Robin and John

I’ve split your discussion into a new topic from the Production Figures thread.

I have explored, and continue to explore, options to send out an email daily or weekly (configurable by each member’s preference) listing all New Topics or Replies posted in that timeframe. However, I’ve yet to find a module that works satisfactorily and therefore have not updated the site to have this functionality.

I do however want to introduce this important notification service to our Club site, but not until I can get it working smoothly – the last thing 200+ members need is 5 or 6 notifications emails a day filling up their in-boxes.

Yes, I must admit I sometimes only visit once in a while. I also read the JEC and XKEC forums in similar fashion, so my available time gets divided between them.

Maybe an email when someone adds to a thread would be useful, as like you I only realise maybe a week or two after original post.

Can I just remind anyone who is planning to join us at the Red Lion on Saturday evening, please let me know – so I can reserve us enough tables/seats.

Thanks,

Laurence

Hi Vinny

Thank you for your comprehensive response, and for uploading some photos

I knew that there were a few bodyshops around the world who were undertaking to create bespoke XJ-S Convertibles, whilst the XJ-SC Cabriolet was still in production and for sale. I personally hadn’t heard of a Banham created XJ-S Convertibles – and it would be really good to learn how different they are from either the US Hess and Eisenhardt bespoke Convertibles (around the same date as yours) and the later Jaguar produced models

Great to have you and your car in the Club

Hi Lionel

Are you doing all the work on your Cabriolet yourself ? Has it needed much welding ?

Hi John

These are great ‘studio’ photos of your XJS – can you tell us where you got them taken and a bit about it – please.

Here’s my Cabriolet on show on the Greater Manchester JEC stand.

It was quite tiring being there for most of the 2 days, but lots of folks stopped by to talk about the car 🙂

To help members fit theses replacement rubbers themselves I’m seeking to create a set of instructions for the remove of the glass from the car and for refitting into the new rubber.

I will publish an Article here once I have details and photos.

Hi eddiepanton

There was only 1 Cabriolet factory fitted with rear seats – Lady Diana’s.

However, Jaguar dealers provided to their customers the option of having rear seats. These were carried out locally, utilising XJ-S Coupe seats.

You’ll see lots of different variations of rear seats, depending on what the dealers could obtain as much as anything. There will also be some that the owners of the car at some point in its life retro fitted rear seats.

Hi Richard

Unfortunately it’s a no to both the ECU and expansion tanks 🙁

Mark Thorley might be able to help as a friend is breaking an early XJS I believe.

Hi Joshua Lyons

Do you mean this :

Yes it is an air deflector for when you have the Targa panel out and the rear hood down.

The XJ-SC Cabriolet were built by Jaguar – there’s a brief article Here about them.

Cheers,

Laurence

Nice to see an XJS in a modern advert – looks as good as any modern soft top sports car 🙂
