Just bought a 1994 XJ6, my first Jag after wanting one for 30+ years.

Other than Ebay, what are the best places to go for accessories, restoration
pieces, etc.?

Thanks!

Welcome to glorious madness. Us Jag owners are in bliss but probably need our
brains tested. Hope you got an owner's manual with it. A true Jaguar
enthusiast sits up in bed and reads it until going to sleep, and reaches for it
the next morning... My only general tip is not to entirely rely on Haynes.
Very useful but not always complete or right. Nothing to beat the complete
service manual but it's very expensive. The Jaguar needs lots of detailed care
and attention and in my opinion rewards the conservative driver with a very nice
experience in quality riding. Drive it as though your mother is sitting on the
edge of the back seat with a basket of eggs and you will love it. Belt all hell
out of it, and neglect the regular checks, and it will bite you. I suppose
that's true for any car but it seems to be doubly so with Jags.
