Hi Alan @cabriolet
The garage has asked I don’t do anything with these wings on the donor car until they have conducted further investigation work on Pawla (my V12 Cabriolet)  if they’re not needed for Pawla then they unbolt it and I can send you better photos – I guess I could possibly bring it to the Sunday Lunch meet up at The Old White Beare on 4th March if you’re coming

Hi Christine @millie
Is Millie Kingfisher Blue, I can’t tell from the photo ?Unfortunately I won’t be down in London for the show, but I believe a number of other members are attending so hopefully they will drop by and say hi.
We have a Clbu Social Meet up planned for Sunday 18th March at the Clock Warehouse, near Derby (see Events section) – you’d be most welcome to join us. I will send you the February Newsletter.
Will you be brining Millie to the Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works event on the 15th September ?

Hi Alan @cabriolet
Do yo have the eBay Item number ?
Hi Per Arne Harefallet @perarnechonica-no
Alan’s correct, the only car that had factory fitted rear seats was Princess Diana’s. Her car though was always fitted with the rear Hardtop rather than the fold down hood – possibly as there was concern that someone in the back of the car might stand up and could injure themselves on the Targa Top’s T-bar if the car suddenly stopped.
Many owners wanted 4 seats, so many of the dealerships were happy to supply a Cabriolet with seats fitted from a Coupe – with the deal arranging to have the rear locker box out taken out and rear seats fitted. All the mouonting points were present in the car for rear seats and seat belts, as the Cabriolets were converted from near complete Coupes when they were built.
If you look around, you will see ltos of different rear seat arrangments in different Cabriolets – this is I think due to the dealer fitting whatever Coupe Seats they could obtain.

Hi Alan @cabriolet
Are you going ahead with the Longlife fitted exhausts ?
When you say franchised, does this mean they sell through a local exhaust centre or a ‘man in a van’ / ‘lady in a van’ fit on your drive service ?

Hi Chris @chrisleeson
I think I read somewhere that he early Hess and Eisenhardt XJS Convertibles had the little quarter light, and the Jaguar built ones had the full glass window without the quarter light.
I quite possibly am wrong – but I’d be interested to hear any information anyone has.

Thanks Russ @russccptd-net for sharing that photo.
