    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

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

    I see you are based in the Midlands Christopher, will you be heading to Warwick Castle on Sunday for the Jaguars at the Castle event ? There are a number of us aiming to be there and it would be nice if you could join us.

    I see you live in Leeds David – hope we’ll be able to meet you at one of the northern meet ups that we have – hopefully we’ll have another soon.

    The only one planned at the moment is over in Conwy, North Wales in October

    Hi John Bleasdale – the details John has completed about his car does indeed state VIN 141229, so I guess it is the car you thought it was.
