i am looking for a source for purchase of (or plans for making) the original-design satchel (bag) for storage of the side-curtains on my XK 140 OTS. Although the bags which I have work great & look nice, they are NOT Concours acceptable as of "original" design. Do not find these listed in the usual source catalogues (ie.XK Ltd, Barrats, etc). Please help!!

Rob, I also heard from Bill Bassett re. "side curtain" satchet and will probably have him make mine also -but need to find a "sample patch" of interior color to send to him -as side-curtain bag is of enterior color. "Still-in-the-works"

Rob,

Bill Bassett at Bassett's jaguar in RI is currently making me a new interior. I'd be surprised if he couldn't make original style side curtain bags. Bill has been restoring XK's for decades and has played a role in many of the elite examples.

I'm in Rockford, MI. I thought I knew of every XK in the area, but yours is a new one for me. We've had ours since 1989 and recently decided to complete a frame-off restoration. You can see the progress at www.celebration-village.com/cars. How long have you had your XK? What color is it. Do you drive it locally?
