sunvisors
i couldn't find anything within reason for replacing the trashed out originals, so having some 3M adhesive backed veneer left over from the vette rebuild and some chrome door edge guard, i tried making my own. used the originals as a pattern and added strips of the shot door card vinyl to dress the tops. fiberboard and the original pivot tubes make up the hard bits.

Sorry to hear that. Restoring my S Type gave me a new appreciation for some of Jaguar's engineering. Take the engineering & machining in the steering column vs. other cars. It's actually very good (if over complex) & aside from the complex main shaft, includes a plunging CV joint & a UJ onto the steering box.
Then they make absolute rubbish sun visors where the passenger side unit can barely take the weight of the mirror.

Thanks for the kind words. My first restorer was a jerk & I had a global job that kept me flying the world 230 days a year & was based in Dallas, Sydney Aus. Bay Area etc etc that did not help. I was never around to supervise progress. Anyway it's been fun in retirement & she's home at last.
What I had forgotten is just what a pleasant vehicle the S Type is to drive considering it's age.
