Dave,

Generally they are pretty accurate. They were hand written by people with varying degrees of penmanship, so sometimes details weren't weren't entered properly, but to get an incorrect dealer would be pretty difficult unless they automated it with shortcut keys and someone hit the wrong key.

If you haven't asked this over on Jag-Lovers, you should try there. There are bound to be a lot of Scots who have lived through the sixties and could tell you from personal experience.

I have found Certs to be accurate. I have only dealt with the New Jersey Cert issuing staff and have found the service first rate.

I wonder if any Certified inaccuracy is made into "fact" by the official status of the Cert???

I have never heard tell of anyone amending/correcting a Cert. or the archives. I do not know if JDHT even cares to correct the JagCar Co official records. JDHT may feel its duty is to merely report "what's there" or is "available officially".

Do we expect an archive facility to do more for us than supply the raw data available?

Obviously, the Cert establishes a car's original specs and its first delivery destination (for Canada it appears to be, invariably, the Jag branch plant known as "JEC") but then you're own your own.

JDHT could/would not help with tracing a rare XJ-S Junior (no VIN + no records = no further action, with a few "not a car anyway" comments added on).

I went so far as to have a webpage created to farm for more information on the XJ-S Junior ....

I also at a dead-end (so far) on a Winnipeg (Canadian) '59 Mk IX.

On the positive side, the Jag community usually falls over itself to help one another get to the bottom of things.

Dave, your car was built on 13th August 1964, Sherwood Green paint, Suede Green trim.
The dealership was Cycle and Carriage company, this particular dealership was famous for exporting cars to Singapore?
There is definitely no reference to Appleyard on original records.
Hope this information helps you Dave. Sincerely, John.

I have just purchased a 1952 XK120 which was converted over to another race car bode in 1955. It is missing the ID Plate. The Chassis No is 670640.

Can someone please tell me where to apply for a Heritage Certificate?

Does anyone know where I can obtain a new ID plate and can I fill in the info once I get back the Heritage Certificate? Will it tell me the original colors, engine #, etc?

Thanks,

Bob Sheridan

JDHT is the best place to go as all the records & build sheets are held there so there are several routes they can take

Julia is the contact Anders sigs them from

Bleasie welcome--but for folks in JCNA (or in this continent) they get the same cert. as JDHT issued from Mahwah (Jaguar NA) and at a discount if members! Thanks for the pictures of the Burberry Had heard of them but do not think I had seen one-is the tartan pink or is it just the pics?

I would suggest that anyone using any site other then JDHT check the E-Type Lovers archives. There was a lengthy discussion about this in the past week or so concerning Jaguar production records and according to the chief archivist at JDHT a film of these records "walked" away from the JDHT a few years ago. Nuff said!

Yes they did on a technicality and many find it strange that "they"will not address how they obtained Jaguar build records.

While on my honeymoon in July 2005, a few days after they closed the production line, my bride dragged me to the JDHT where Julia helped me locate the birth records of my 2 E-Type OTSs. As I turned through the pages showing 20 cars per page (running across 2 pages - see how I'm stretching my arms?) I saw very few cars with the first owner named. I was advised that names were added if 1) the car was ordered via a dealership or 2) if the warranty card/info was submitted through channels AND if the book was appended months/years later. I know I submitted my warranty card in Dec 1970 and I got the Protect-O-Plate (or whatever it was called), but my name wasn't listed 35 years later.

Cliff LOL you mean the "Customer Identification Plate'? That was issued here in the good old US of A and the warranty records etc. were all dealt with by Jaguar US (or actually BL). In anycase they did not forward those names back to Coventry to be added. The few first owners for the US I have seen were from a European "pick-up" Sad thing is I think I remember when Jaguar moved to Mahwah seeing those files dumped--while I was dumpster diving with Karen Miller and Mike Cook.

This may not be the best place to seek advice but here's hoping. I am looking at purchasing an XK120OTS in Delaware. Is there any way I can confirm the correct engine and gearbox numbers are fitted (all mechanical details look correct). But the ID plate while showing correct numbers omits prefixes for engine (W) and gearbox (JH or SH). I have heard of some mistakes occurring - humans and all - but these seem very peculiar mistakes to have been made.

Do a quick check at www.xkdata.com ... the listing may help with those numbers. There is a guide to the numbers on this page:

I'm sure others can offer more assistance.
