Hi,
I??m from middle-europe (Austria). I??m restoring an E-Type S1, 2+2 from 1966 that I took from the US to Europe.
The interior of the car is in bad condition. The Jaguar Heritage-Trust procution certificate says that the car was built with "light tan" interior. But there are no colour codes to find, also the JDHC in coventry doesn??t have any detailed colour codes.
In my car there are light green (!?) whool carpets, I can??t imagine that this was the right combination.
Where can I find the correct colour code for the interior trim incl. the leather-colour and the carpet colour? Or does someone have a picture of the correct original colours? The carpet-producers in Europe always need the codes due to the number of different colour shades.
A further problem is to find the correct lifting-jack for this car. The original car jack should have a fixed handle and the lifting plate should have a gap for the specific jacking-point of the 2+2 cars. I can??t find a jack like that. Does maybe anyone have such a part, the condition is not important, I would refurbish it myself.
Thanks in advance for any information
Regards, Gerhard

Gerhard,
You should post your question on the E-Type forum. That is where your question will most likely be answered. Not all the experts on that forum also monitor the Concours & Originality forum. I travel to Hungary annually for extended periods of time and travel through Austria often. I would like to meet you and check on your progress. Write me direct at bendemaol.com
