Apparently Robin, according to the description on the listing,this WASO key was also used on Jenson Cars too but to name a few. Imagine that….
Modern Supercars are definitely Super in their own way however I’d take the Cabriolet every day, just look at it sat there between those, looks stunning! And look how small the Cabriolet looks in comparison, just goes to show how elegant they are
Sent you some details Richard
Laurence, give Jack Smith Trimmers a call in Swansea, he’s a professional upholsterer and soft top manufacturer and his prices are very good indeed. He replaced my Fathers soft top and new plastic rear window on his Alfa Spider for considerably less than anyone else and the job was 1st Class.
Have you tried the plastic cleaners specifically for these rear screens Laurence?
They are quite good, I’ve used this (eBay 391496956911 ) on several Convertibles in the past and it does work. Depending on the severity, you might need several attempts. If you can restore the opaque one then you’ll not have the hassle of trying to stitch in a new one which won’t be easy unless you’ve some experience.
The idea of a solid Perspex screen sounds great but the bulkyness when folded down wouldn’t suit the Cabriolet that well aesthetically. I don’t favour the Convertible for that reason. Even with a Tonneau cover it still appears intrusive to me. The Cabriolet is discreet and neat. Having a plastic folding screen is a small price to pay.
I always ensure the plastic screen is evenly folded across the entire length without kinks thus helping to keep it looking great.
Officially Jaguar maximum size is 16″. Original size and recommended tires will give you the best ride and speedometer accuracy and of course give the correct rating for such a heavy fast car. Be careful what you fit as a lot of modern 17″/18″ alloys are not really designed for such cars as these. Remember they are very fast and much heavier than what one might think considering how agile they are.
Jaguar knew what they were doing all those years ago 🙂The second car is especially nice, great price too. Is that a Lap belt hooked onto the windscreen pillar in photograph 3? Not seen that before
Hi Richard, looking at the Official Jaguar parts Catalogue, from your description it sounds like the Vacuum valve. If exchange of email is allowed here forward it and I’ll forward you a diagram etc
Hi Richard, is your car a 5.3 or 3.6? Cabriolet or Convertible?
Good to hear ?
John, look at EBay
Item Number302263307387. Is this what you are looking for? Correct WASO key.
If shipment to the UK is a problem I’m sure one of our Forum members there would kindly ship it on to you if sent to them first within the US 🙂Mine is 1730 🙂
Hi Paul are you still looking for the above parts or sorted now?
