The following is a
listing of some mail-order outfits and the like, along with choice
comments. Many mail-order joints advertise in the
Hemmings Motor News, so pick up a recent
issue to get the latest info.
Karen Miller of Jaguar Clubs of North
America (JCNA) is preparing a database of all sources for Jaguar
parts, service, etc. While as of this writing this project is in
early stages, eventually it should supplant the listing below.

Telephone Numbers
Throughout this listing, I have endeavored to use a notation for
phone numbers that is apparently common in Europe. The first
character is a + which indicates that you must begin by entering an
"international access code" which are digits you must dial in order
to begin an international call and which vary considerably depending
on where you are calling from; here in the US, you generally must
dial 011, while in the UK you must dial 00. In Australia the
international access code is 0011.
The next one or two digits are the "country code" followed by a
space. The country code for the US and Canada is 1, for the UK it's
44, for Australia it's 61 and for New Zealand it's 64. A more
complete listing of country codes is generally found near the front
of any telephone directory.
What follows on a US phone number will be the area code, in
parentheses, and then the phone number itself. For UK numbers, the
area code and number are listed, but no parentheses.
Now, the idea behind listing numbers this way is to provide all
the information necessary to call these numbers from anywhere in the
world. However, it becomes the responsibility of the reader to
interpret this information somewhat in order to make a call within
his own country or local area. For example, a person in the US
calling a US number should know that he can forget about the
international access code and country code and merely dial a 1 (or
any of an entire smorgasbord of long-distance access codes in this
day of deregulation) followed by the area code and number. A person
in the UK dialing a UK number should know that he can drop the
international access code and country code but must add a 0 before
the number. Obviously, those who actually live within a stone's throw
of the place being called may be able to drop even more digits and
make a local call.
Toll-Free Numbers
The "800" and "888" numbers are another matter. These are
toll-free long distance numbers, but they reportedly only work from
within the US. Hence, they are listed as 1-800-xxx-xxxx, the way they
must be dialed in the US to work properly.
UK Numbers
Some notes regarding phone calls to the UK: On August 5, 1994,
exchanges in the UK changed. For the most part, the change was simply
to add a 1 at the beginning of the exchange, although a few exchanges
changed entirely.
Paul Garside sends this explanation of the phone number
conventions in the UK (prior to the addition of the 1):
Major city (e.g. London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow) phone
numbers used to be of the format:
<2-OR 3-DIGIT CITY CODE> <3-DIGIT AREA CODE>
<FOUR DIGIT NUMBER>
All other towns and villages in Great Britain used the
format
<4-DIGIT AREA CODE> <5- OR 6-DIGIT NUMBER>
These are all generally 6-digit numbers now. The spaces are
also shown as dashes. There is no significance to either, they are
merely for ease of reading.
In the UK, often a company's literature lists the phone number
including the beginning 0. Remember that when calling from other
countries, this 0 should be omitted.
Foreign Mail Order Tips
Some more general notes about making mail-order purchases from
foreign countries:
Exchange Rates
If you have a credit card, you will find this is one of the
neatest features of owning it. Charging a foreign purchase to a
credit card gets the seller paid in their native currency, and gets
you the best exchange rate available automatically -- the charge
shows up on your statement in your currency. The credit card
companies can offer the optimum exchange rates because they don't
have to keep a pile of foreign currency on hand to do so.
European VAT
Those who purchase parts within the European Union must pay a
Value Added Tax (VAT) of 17.5%. However, orders shipped outside the
EU are exempt from this tax. If you are ordering from elsewhere and
someone tries to charge you VAT, they are trying to rip you off.
According to Stefan Schulz, this is a common scam.
Jaguar Dealers
Any Jaguar dealer can provide a
pamphlet listing all the Jaguar dealers in the US and Canada. If you
think about it, this is a useful pamphlet to have -- a dealer isn't
always easy to find when you need one. Dealers will usually ship
parts, so they are another mail-order resource.
Some dealers have an 800 number, good only in their home state or
local area. At least one dealer's parts department has such a number
and does not publish it. If your nearest dealer is a long distance
call, be sure to tell them it's long distance; perhaps they will
invite you to call back on an 800 number. Be sure to have a notepad
ready!

Also known as Warshawsky/Whitney. The quintessential mail-order auto
parts company. Occasionally they go into receivership and pocket your
money, but most of the time they are acceptable. Very few Jaguar
parts (oil filters, etc.) but they have a large selection of generic
items. Once you get on their mailing list, you will never be lacking
for scrap paper to light your fireplace. Brainless order-takers. You
can call in the middle of the night for good long-distance rates.
They will not tell you brand names.

Apparently formerly known as British Auto Interiors, but has branched
out to the rest of the car. Per Chip Weems: "They do their own direct
importing, and in addition to interiors they are into fabricating a
bunch of their own repro items. They are also a fairly large
restoration shop, and when I've had trouble with installing some
part, Tom will call in one of the mechanics to give me free advice
over the phone."

Shameless bragging from the proprietor himself, John DiGiacoma: "New,

aluminum on the stripped part and then spray a clear polyurethane
over it. I inspected several parts (hubcap, grille, taillight
cluster) and was suitably impressed. The finish on these parts was
very nice - perhaps not as "hard" looking as chrome, but very
reflective, with a bit of depth, and extremely uniform in their
color. Basically, it looks like polished aluminum with a protective
clearcoat on it. They generally do plastics and pot metals, in
aluminum, gold, copper or titanium nitride. XJ-S headlamp buckets are
US$75 each, grilles US$120. This seems to compare favorably with new
parts. 50% down at time of order. He quoted me 3-4 weeks. It's
cheaper if you deliver the parts pre-stripped (they get charged US$45
to strip the grille, for instance)."

called them, and they sent me 12-ounce cans of the right match. They
also provide an EXACT matching service if you can ship them a part,
like the fuel filler door or some such item. If you are afraid that
the "spray bomb" will not yield good results: I can't tell the
factory job from the spray can (They use a very nice nozzle).

Addco makes anti-roll bars for anything with four wheels, and at
reasonable prices. They offer a 7/8" bar for the rear of the XJ-S and
a 1" bar for the front. They evidently based their offerings on the
pre-1979 XJ-S (which came with a rear bar), because both bars are
intended to replace existing bars, not install where there was none
before. As such, the rear anti-roll bar kit does not include links
and other parts that will be necessary on the 1980-on car. Also, both
bars are much stiffer than stock; they don't offer a soft rear bar to
complement the stock front bar. They have now been informed of the
error of their ways, and perhaps they will respond with a
from-scratch kit as well as a more limber rear bar for the 1980-on
XJ-S.

Their "B" style anti-roll bar mount bushing and bracket will, with a

Models
It is not likely you will find a model of the XJ-S in your local
K-Mart. However, if you find a hobby shop that will special-order
models, Hasegawa makes several XJ-S models including some models of
XJ-S race cars. Hasegawa model CA-1 is a 1:24 scale stock street
model. This is apparently a model of the Japan- or UK-issue car, as
it is right-hand drive, the wipers park to the right, and it has the
European style single headlight units. For those of us who haven't
built a model in 20 years, the price causes sticker shock: about
US$25. But it is remarkably detailed and accurate, including a
complete interior with all gauges, switches and pedals, and an engine
accurate enough for you to learn where things are you can't see in
your engine compartment. The rear suspension is complete with
individual shock absorbers. The wheels are the older 5-point domed
alloy style. The tires are rubber and actually say "Pirelli P5" and
"215/70VR15" on them.
