“I try to offer very competitive pricing on original equipment and reproduction (aftermarket) parts.  I can also offer 
many factory Jaguar packaged products at discounted prices too (just not as discounted as other items).  Most of what I 
stock is mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, accessories, books, manuals (not stocking much body/trim but can s/order). 

“I directly import parts in many instances and can even special order directly out of the UK should some need it.  I can 
supply virtually any currently available part as well as lots of old NOS pieces too.” 

“We sell an excellent aftermarket a/c amplifier unit for the XJ (original part number is C45402).  The unit comes with a 
5 year warranty.  We import the amplifiers from Australia.  They are quality pieces and are not common in the USA.  
Other USA suppliers offer aftermarket amplifiers too but I believe ours is the best one for the money.”  They also sell 
antennas and antenna repair kits.

Addco makes anti-roll bars for anything with four wheels, and at reasonable prices.  They offer a 7/8” bar for the rear of 
the XJ-S and a 1” bar for the front.  They evidently based their offerings on the pre-1982 XJ-S (which came with a rear 
bar), because both bars are intended to replace existing bars, not install where there was none before.  As such, the rear 
anti-roll bar kit does not include links and other parts that will be necessary on the 1982-on car.  Also, both bars are 
much stiffer than stock; they don’t offer a soft rear bar to complement the stock front bar.  They have now been 
informed of the error of their ways, and perhaps they will respond with a from-scratch kit as well as a more limber rear 
bar for the 1982-on XJ-S.

This outfit offers all kinds of aftermarket inlet systems and various EFI system modifications and improvements for 
both V12 and 6-cylinder XJ-S’s.  Of note, they will fix faulty ECU’s on an exchange basis for reasonable prices.  They 
also offer EFI diagnostic equipment.  Jeffrey Gram says they can “rebuild any 6CU or 16CU to either low or high CR, 
with or without catalyst and that we should take care not to pay too much for an ECU, AJ6 has loads on stock.”
