Default New Member from California - Need XJ220 information please

July 30, 2010

Hi there...

I live in Los Angeles, California.

My name is Larry and I am well-known on Lotus Talk, as I am a Lotus ELise owner since 2005.

I have a Jaguar XJ220S in the driveway where I work...Specialty Car Craft in Los Angeles.

I need need new headlight assemblies and a new windshield.

Does anyone know who I can speak to by phone or e-mail who would have these parts.

I know this a very rare car...I would appreciate any help I can get!

I guess your moderator will eventually post the photo, in the meantime you can visit this website where there are pictures of cars just like ours, which is a 1993 by the way:

http://www.supercars.net/cars/880.html

Also you can visit our website at www.specialtycarcraft.com to see pictures of the other exotic and sports cars that are here where I work.

In the meantime, can anyone know anywhere I can find parts for the XJ220, either in the UK or USA?

Thanks!

Hey Larry, welcome aboard
Nice 220 you got there

As for parts? You can try Jag_genius from this site as well as ken@britishparts also from here. We have vendors such as Nalleyjaguar and others to consider. You can check out "useful Jaguar links" in the general tech help section and may find info to consider there.

One of the other guys may pop along soon with any other info

Good luck

Thanks gang!

I appreciate the kind words!

I'm also trying to find someone in the United States, preferably California, who can make custom headlight enclosures (the glass) and custom windshields for this Jag...

Larry, I've just noticed that all your posts are in this New Member area and your question could easily be missed by some of the guys who might know.

Why not try a post over in the Other Jaguar Models section or the Detailing section, you never know?
