I am looking to source some parts for a friend who is restoring a MK IV Jag in India.

Could anyone point me to a supplier or a specialist?

Many thanks!

A Mark IV is even older than my XK150 and certainly much rarer.
You might find sources for parts on eBay, I certainly see a lot of ads for XK parts there, though I must admit I've never tried to find parts for the even older cars.

Another website you probably want to take a look at is www.jag-lovers.org. They have a forum for pre-XK Jags. If it's anything like the XK forum it well be full of people in a good position to help you.

There are owners clubs, for Jags in general there are two main clubs "The Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club" which you can find on www.jec.org.uk and there is "The Jaguar Drivers’ Club" on www.jaguardriver.co.uk/ they are both world wide clubs.

I suspect there is probably a more specific club for earlier saloon cars.

The club magazines have loads of ads for suppliers of parts for classic Jags, who might be able to help you.

Hope this helps a bit

Thanks for that. I have recently restored a Lancia Flaminia Zagato, and sourcing parts for that was fun too!

Nice.

I think when the time comes to need bits, my XK will be much easier.


Good luck
