    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,

    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.

    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 :

    [one_third][photo 894][/one_third][one_third][photo 895][/one_third][one_third_last][photo 896][/one_third_last]

    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 🙂

    Had news today as to why my V12 Convertible was running rough – the connection of a lead to one of the injectors wasn’t connected properly 🙁

    Problem was solved by pushing the connection on properly and the car runs sweet and happy. Wish I’d been able to spot what it was, or even more that the garage in France that took a look at the car had – it would have meant we had a much smoother 800 mile drive home from the Dordogne…

    Hi Trevor Kent I found a photo of the Dior Pink XJS Convertible – Singapore Airport

    [photo 893]

    Though this isn’t the same car that’s in the advert – which is an XJS Facelift Convertible
