Hi All,

One of my cars has been getting mouldy even while stored in a friends garage – I think this is suffering from being in a large cold garage causing condensation in the car. I followed the suggestions earlier in this thread and have put in a dehumidifier and that seems to be working 🙂

The other car that was suffering was parked on the drive under a fitted cover. This obviously was suffering from temp changes and the resutling condensation. I’ve also put a dehumidifer in this and its collecting water on a regualar basis. Norman @jnt78btinternet-com I took a look at the Coopers of Stortfordwebsite you suggested yesterday – and got distracted looking at lots of things…. What I did spot was a little 400w heater that plugs directly into a socket and has a built in timer. I’ve bought one of these with a view of plugging it in alongside the dumidifer in the car to try and average out the temp and avoid condensation occurring. I’ll let you know how this works out.

Thanks everyone for thier continued input and suggestions.

Laurence

Hi Hectors @celebration

The coachlines along the tops of the wings and the bonnet bulge really set of the shape of your car.

Very nice

HI Gerben @gerbenharingsma

I couldn’t recall whether it was left or right, so I’ve sent both highly valuable pieces to you 🙂

Should be with you before the weekend.

I’m really pleased to say that work is starting on bringing Pawla back to health at my local Independent Jaguar Garage, where I know they will take great care of her.

I’ve managed to pull together enough funds to enable all the main strategic work to be undertake in one go – sills all round, rear quarter and front quarter repairs, front brake discs and callipers and bits, lots of bushes all around the various suspension parts….

The front cross-frame is badly rusted in one area, which could I guess have been repaired. However I fortunately hadn’t sold on the remains of my donor cabriolet – sorry Richard Collins @rich you almost had her. We’re therefore going to be able to utilise the front cross-member from the donor car which is in pretty good shape.

I’ll add some pictures over the next few weeks as work progresses.

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 Martin @ball

I do believe I have a black leather wheel cove

Yes each Cabriolet would have benn sold with a special bag for the Targa Panels to store in – it has two compartments, one for each targa panel, and clips via a strap to go across flush with the spare wheel in the boot. Are you looking for one of these too ?

Laurence Jones

Hi Norman @jnt78btinternet-com

I have today just placed the order for the manufacture of the seal, so should be available in a few weeks hopefully.

What will be available is the seal assembled as either Targa Roof panel seal (rectangle shape) or rear Hood seal (‘U’ shaped) – this will then need to be bonded onto your original clip strip.

I am looking into sourcing replacement clip strip, with a view of having everything assembled as a complete replacement part – further news soon on this I hope.

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.

Hi Alan @cabriolet

I think I should seriously consider driving Pawla across the Pennines and across to your neck of the woods and have the underbody work carried out by your garage…..

Split off from the Launch discussion (this one) to one of its own US market 3.6 Cabriolets that were converted from LHD to RHD

Thanks to those who have replied so far.

There is a couple of possibilities for this visit and get together, and once I know more I will share here along with possible dates. We’ll then see if we can find a date where most of us can attend so no one misses out.

Thanks John Bleasdale @bleasie for sharing these.

I do like the fact you’ve been able to identify the actual cars that were there at time – is it known where each of these cars are now ?

Laurence

P.S. I do like the hand drawn Cabriolet poster
