Harry, I have used OJSI....Original Specification Jaguar Interiors in Muncie IN for 3 complete cars.XK120 OTS, XK140 FHC, Mk II, and have found the pricing with the discounts to be to my liking. I have found the fit to be exacting, and the quality of material to be top grade. In fairness I have not tried others to compare. Since you are restoring the car, may I ask....are you doing the work or are you sending it out? If you are doing much of the restoration yourself, then continue the enjoyment and do much of the interior yourself. It is quite easy and straightforward. Stop when you get to the seats and headliner. Have a pro handle that part. Do not take the headliner apart. Let the pro see how it was initially assembled. Find an old pro since young folks will not understand about the tacks and plywood used in that era. I am just finishing up my XK140FHC and have several interior pictures if you would like. As George has said....Good Luck--keep us posted!

Harry there are several. Personally I use SNG Barratt. If pros are going to install it you are not worried by fit--(they will make all of them fit) you should be more concerned about quality of materials and price. Good Luck--keep us posted!
