Welcome and glad you're enjoying your car.
Bought mine six months ago and done over 4000miles. A pleasure to drive in every way.

xjs posters
Hi, Going to western day on Sunday and thought I'd take along a couple of posters which members might be interested in. These are both Leyland posters and look to be from the time of launch as they feature the couple shown in the original brochure enjoying their tea and cakes! They are framed and a ...

Re: Wanted XJ12 series 1 swb interior
Some parts that I have that might help: A Rear back rest in excellent condition with narrow pleats and a set of seats from a series 2 which need a bit of restoration with the wider pleats. All in biscuit colour.

Re: v12 injector plug boots
Hi Keri,
Bought some of these a while ago for my series 2 saloon. They came from a company in Australia selling on Ebay. I'll check back on the details for you.

Re: XJ12 Interior Trim
Remember it well, and bought one at the time. Can't remember where it was advertised or how much. Great quality and exactly like the original. Seems a long time ago, maybe even 15 years or more. Unfortunately it sits gathering dust on the bookshelf waiting for the day to be fitted.

Re: Daimler Coupe drivers handbook
Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply and extra info. It looks like my P,reg car, manufactured in Jan 76, would have had the Supercover Pack. Another copy of the handbook I have, which I thought was the same as the 76 one, turns out to be different, on closer inspection. The picture of the coupe has gone an...

Re: Daimler Coupe drivers handbook
Hi Mike, Enjoyed looking through the list of Supercover Documents. My car is a 76 V12 saloon and only came to me with the handbook. I bought at a spares day a few years ago a complete unused Supercover pack, with the correct handbook. So I've checked the contents against yours. Some differences: GM ...

Re: Front Springs
Hi cliff
Just looking at the old Haynes manual from 1980. It gives the ride height for a V12 saloon as 611mm to centre of headlights and XJS as 6in (152mm) from ground to front subframe. Guess other engine models would be the same.
Hope this helps.

Simon.

Re: Front coil spring - unsprung length
Hi I bought some new springs for my XJ12 series 2 some time ago and have had them stored away. They are in a Boge box which I believe was the original equipment supplier. They were supplied as being for a V12 without aircon, as there are various springs depending on the engine etc. I don't know if t...

Re: Recommendations please for a good firm for re-chroming
Hi Brian,
I had a number of items rechromed a few years ago; including bumpers and overriders.
I used ACF Howell in Walsall and can certainly recommend them. I was very happy with the quality.

Re: Cyclists taking over a village/town and closing the road
Hi James,
Good to hear that your restoration is going well; sounds like you've been doing a thorough job.
Such a fantastic car to drive, so worth all the effort.
Look forward to maybe seeing it one day, perhaps at some of next years shows.
Good Luck,
Simon.
