It would seem they are still available, if you're feeling lavish!

1582 Euros + shipping. I like them: they remind me of the E28 5 series and the headlights were their handsome feature!

A interesting spot there. This exact car is mentioned somewhere else on this forum. Specifically regarding those headlamps. I have a vague recollection they may be from Arden? Though I could be wrong. Do some searching on here. Yes, they're Arden headlights. I remember that car being on the forum (...

My old Sov passed its MOT today. The Tester was very complimentary about it, saying, "You've got to love an old Jag," and, "They don't make cars like this any more. It's beautiful."

I had the same problem with the water rail gasket on my car. When we removed the water rail, there was no gasketing (factory delete on later models) just silicone. They were re-introduced on the X300 ..... Larry I think we have talked about this before. My battery-in-boot car is an early one made i...

It is at the front though of the J-Gate assembly rather than directly underneath it - You don't take the top plate off the J-Gate assembly to get to it, if you see what I mean. I'm not expressing myself well here! http://www.jag-lovers.org/snaps/snap_view.php3?zx=SdADyRIIiM%2F6D8gNAZuezwLJCgOM2Ps41E...

IIRC you don't remove the 'plate' bit on the J-Gate (at least not on my '93) - the bulb is not under it but is sited at the front of the J Gate deep down in its own little trough. You do need to remove the ski slope. Replaceing the bulb is quite fiddly. I probably have some photos on my computer som...
