I wonder if Mr Rice was with the military would then any personel records be publically available in the US..

I noticed that my JDHT certificate specifies: Original Distributor: Jaguar Cars, New York, USA Original Dealer: Personal Export Delivery First Owner: Mr Rice Registration Mark: 6826WK ((which was issued at Coventry) Does it mean that Mr Rice ordered the car in the US, came over to Coventry to pick u...

One other thing - anyone know where you can get the wiring support clip that attaches to the Balance Link as in the above picture? I can't seem to find anyone who lists it - C.18410 I believe.

All from UK: either https://coh-baines.co.uk/ or SNG.

Is this the one you are looking for?

Hi,

So, 4.2?

Would these help? They were posted before, I believe:

Cataphoteric paint. Perfect, thin coat, you do not have to cover any splines, threads as it's a very thin layer of paint. Looks very good.

The 3rd photo is from a '62 flat floor, as you can see, it's the same arrangement as on my '63 car.

Would these help?

It's relatively original, beside obvious additions.

I received an e-mail from Judith Lonsdale the other day, confirming that David passed away in July '23. She wrote me that David had a business associate, George Todd, who very kindly dealt with his workshop and any remaining business outstanding. I contacted George, he agreed to post his mail addres...

Once you assemble it with the radio panel, make sure the central instrument console tilts freely so that you can reach the fuses.

Yes, SNG has them. ( or had them a while back)

He did my Frogeye ones in '22. We also did a project together on S1 automatic linkage under the carbs, as I had a good sample.


I wonder if anyone took over David's workshop.

Many thanks for all the hints, I will pass them on.

I need a good lead, as it's for an 1950 XK120 OTS for a fellow here in Poland, who has the car and is restoring it..

Oh, that is terrible news - he was not only a perfectionist, he was also such a good and kind man! I visited him once, he showed me around the workshop, he lived in a beautiful place, an old church rectory.. Tadek Sadly David Lonsdale has actually passed away. A lovely man and a wonderful restorer o...

I was wondering if anyone can recommend SU carburetor restoration services, in the UK.

Unfortunately it seems that David Lonsdale has definitely retired.
