Where can I source some genuine Jaguar ovemats for a SWB car?

Do main Dealers still do them? Any other vendors?

Thanks

Probably still available via the official parts network but there are plenty of genuine and after-market ones available on eBay. Also try British Parts, Barretts, Manners etc who deal in genuine new gear. Second-hand from Eurojag is always worth a phone call. They sell only good used stuff and prices are very competitive. Sometimes the parts are almost "as new" but for about one third of the cost of new.

Thanks - I’ve searched and found the following part number, which I believe is a dark grey

C2C30022LFN - circa 150 from Jaguar classic parts

Can anyone vouch for the quality?

That is a genuine Jaguar part number and as such can be regarded as OE spec ie Original Equipment. After-market alternatives have no such guarantee of OE quality. Buyer beware!

Dear Cornershop,

I too am looking for overmats and I wondered if you went ahead with the ones from classic Jag? If so, are you pleased?

Apologies for the delayed reply

I’ve not yet ordered, mainly as I wanted to check the carpet colour before doing so and check what fixtures and fitting I need (the car has been with Tom Lenthall for 2 weeks)

I collect today and anticipate I will place an order this week. JCCP confirmed they have them in stock so I should receive them by the end of the week.

cornershop,

In my experience, you'll get them cheaper if you get your dealer to order them for you in rather than order direct, and no postage costs. I can usually negotiate c20% discount via my dealer as a JEC member.

Good luck

So I’ve just collected the mats (132+vat) from Jaguar Guildford - they arrived the day after ordering over the phone, which was nice.

I also ordered, at least what i thought based on the jaguar classic car parts site, 2 pairs of mat retainers, but only 2 individual retainers turned up.

Quality - average i’d say. I shouldn’t be surprised but the mats that i bought for the Mrs’ 62 plate CMax are of similar quality.

Shame, as the mats on display in the waiting area (unknown Jag), look much nicer; a good 50% thicker, whilst made of similar material, and with a discrete Jaguar logo in the corner.

I’ll be keeping them, but they haven’t met quality expectation.
