Default Newbie in New Kent, Va 1998 XK8

We just bought our first Jaguar at an estate sale today, and are exploring all of the features ! If anyone can recommend a good Jaguar mechanic in the Richmond area, we'd be grateful. We'd like it to have a good go over. Thanks !

Follow Norri's link in post #2 to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Enjoy the forums.

Default Any parts resources in the Richmond Va area ?

As we explore our estate sale purchase, we've found several little missing items in the car...some pilfered during the sale unfortunately. We need the rubber window control push button, we need the little seat belt clip that rests on the rear drivers side, the jaguar wheel emblems (also pillaged, since they were there inspection day), and apparently a left front speaker.
The tires are 245/50/17 Nexens, and we need all 4 replaced...any advice as to size or brands that would work best would be greatly appreciated !
