Pete,

You haven't detailed what model you've got but I would always look first at Jaguar themselves for panels - www.jaguarclassicparts.co.uk

You might be pleasantly surprised at what is still available and, in my limited experience, they have more chance of fitting than some pattern parts.

i got all the panels i needed drom David Manners , all very good quality and fitted first time,

and that was mainly everything needed for a full frontend rebuild

BB,

Do you know if the panels were supplied by Jaguar or their own pattern parts? David Manners is a "pseudo" dealer and therefore has access to the Jaguar parts system.

they were ' jaguar ' parts , and carried Jaguar production stickers and were made as repair and replacement panels from the original press

as far as i can remember none of them were ' after-market ' ones , i do have one of these for the boot lid , but wasnt bought from DM ,

Martin Robey also supply original spec panels , and the prices between them can vary quite a bit
