Welcome to the worldwide acknowledged home of  the very best  classic  XK120, XK140 & XK150 Jaguar  chrome, parts, panels, upgrades and accessories.

Our 'Recession Busting' Price list is now out, offering the very BEST QUALITY PARTS at the BEST RETAIL PRICES, with over 100 price reductions, and many more held at the old price. We still  prefer to manufacture in the UK and leave the China manufactured, cheap copies for the sellers that don't know the meaning of quality. They figure if it falls apart after 5 years you won't notice you've only clocked up a few hundred actual road miles!

We were the company that picked up from  where Jaguar stopped supplying parts  for these  classic models and soon became THE established NAME for QUALITY XK PARTS since 1969. Yes, really, SINCE 1969, we have been the rock-solid base that the XK parts market has been reliant on.

We do not just retail these parts, we have for over 42 years commissioned and manufactured parts  right here in Coventry. These are the best reproduction parts available to the XK Lover and are supplied into the best TRADE OUTLETS and WORKSHOPS, worldwide, closely overseen by the only actual Coventry born, JAGUAR TRAINED  parts supplier in the business !!!!  Yes, you will find the XK world is full of self-proclaimed  ' XK specialists' who have never  worked or set foot in the Browns Lane  factory, have no technical knowledge and no interest in anything but your money. They could never  actually understand how factories work as they have never entered that world or comprehend  the reality of how a 'sports car for the masses'  was cobbled-together in that austere period with whatever the enterprising Sir William could get his hands on. CAC is one of the few companies run by a genuine ex- Jaguar parts specialist and 'dyed in the wool' car enthusiast who still loves what he does.

PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME OTHER SUPPLIERS KEEP OUR TOP QUALITY PARTS, GET SMART AND BUY DIRECT FROM THE SOURCE TO GET THE BEST!!!  WE HAVE BEEN SPECIALISING IN THE MANUFACTURE OF XK PARTS ESPECIALLY THE SPECIALIST CHROME FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

You will  quickly see that  everyone tries to copy our  established 'XK PARTS' logo, adverts and products, but they don't have the knowledge or enthusiasm to back it all up. So beware, you really can end up paying twice the price for half the quality from  many other places and still not have all the parts you need for the job!!

THIS MUST BE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ?:

We now have teamed up with a fantastic, time served, local workshop just minutes away from our unit (and the local railway station) that works with us and if you purchase it from us, will happily fit your CAC  XK disc brake conversion kit for an additional  £250 !! Yes, thats hard to believe nowadays, but that says hundreds, not thousands of pounds.  Call  us for more details ...............

We have installed new racking in the XKave, so go see our Alladdin's XKave to discover  what we have found in the darkest, dustiest corners.......

We are proud to tell you that we have here, available to you, the world's only comprehensive C-Type & D-Type Parts Catalogue available anywhere. It actually  includes original Jaguar part numbers,taken from actual build sheets, and contained within its pages is information that will allow you to build the best reproduction available or we can just help you cater to your funds, as you wish.

Download from here or contact us for your copy!

Now we  also are VERY PROUD to announce that we have the most comprehensive and easy to read  XK PANELS CATALOGUE available anywhere in the world,( I know, I drew it up!!!) ready to drop into your eager hands. It has a familiar 'Jaguar' feel but you will see it includes  a broad selection of hitherto unseen data such as exhaust heatshields, body shims, underbody bolt-on shields etc...

It is the first in the world to even include the main structural panel data  for the early hand built, 'alloy XK120s'. This was the first  few hundred XK120 bodies, that were still hand-made to traditional coach-building methods, which is  a hand-crafted, wooden framework, re-inforced with steel inners and skinned in aluminium exterior  panels. This was a low production, labour intensive build method which Jaguar soon realised  needed to be replaced by a 'modern' production line system to cope with the World wide demand that their  stunning XK120 had created . This catalogue can all be downloaded from our new Panels page and saved on your desktop as a  PDF by a right click of your mouse.

We are now also able to offer an amazing service that no-one has ever tried to market,  a 2-tier, panels price list. After 42 years in this business we have enough friends and panels workshops available to be able to offer you a unique choice.

For  a quick delivery service on panels, choose our V.O.R ( vehicle-off-road) or if you are prepared to wait a bit longer we can supply many panels at up to 20% cheaper with our Pre-Order  panels service. This can literally save you thousands of pounds on a body shell rebuild, and lets face it, our slow service will be faster than many re-seller's best efforts!

Please download  the catalogue from our new 'Panels Page'  to your desktop or just contact us and ask for a catalogue or quotation.

We announce availablility of long awaited New Products we have tooled-

Our Commitment to You

We want to provide Jaguar XK 120, XK 140, and XK 150 owners, parts retailers  and restoration shops with a professional and friendly service, providing quality reproduction, genuine, re-conditioned or used XK parts in an expedient, enthusiastic and cost effective manner.

Introduction

Coventry Auto Components is now based in a 2 storey industrial unit, in the area known as 'Torrington Avenue', which at one time was Coventry's industrial heartland. We are located just 3 miles from where Jaguar's Browns Lane assembly plant was located, and where all the XK's were built. Our facility is essential to support the increase in our range of parts and accessories. This is a further committment in demonstrating our passion and enthusiasm for our business to you, our customers, by combining our determination to provide the highest standard of reproduction parts with our  high quality of service to the XK community.

We also lay claim to be the longest established independent  XK specialist in the world, setting a standard that our competitors strive to emulate! But we are also modern thinking and our core proposition is our consistent service and value. 

Our comprehensive XK parts catalogue is constantly being updated and has been developed to help you to identify the parts you need, as is this website. If you take time to read the catalogue in detail, it contains those little snippets of information which makes your life easier in identifying the correct parts you require, and also cross-references to assist you with other items you may have overlooked.Did you know that if you download it onto your desktop, it has a search engine at the top where you can insert a search word or Jaguar part number to take you directly to all of the relevant parts? Clever stuff this new technology!!! And if that doesn't make finding and buying parts for your hobby or more importantly for many, your business running efficiently, I don't know what does. WE USE IT HERE IN THE OFFICE!!  

Not everything is available new, and some of the more obscure or complex parts can only be obtained second hand, or as an exchange reconditioned unit. Over the years we have built up a stock of these and also a network of friends, owners, craftsmen and specialists to whom we can call upon to search out these rarer parts. Take a peek into 'Aladdin's XKave' to discover your own treasures! There REALLY are some rare bits in there!!!

Maintaining stock is always a challenge due to old suppliers disappearing, but we are always developing new quality assured sources and we are continually investing in new tooling to expand or improve our already comprehensive quality product range. We are now an agent for the Tremmec (Borg-Warner) T-5 aluminium, 5-speed, gearbox conversion with all Jaguar spec fittings and gear shifter (also available with correctly 'pegged' reverse gear for E-Type).

Our survival depends on our customers wanting to come back and we welcome any feedback regarding quality, delivery, costs, and service, so please keep us updated, as we appreciate your opinion. We are very proud of our good reputation within our industry and hope it does speak for itself.

In July 2007 Trevor Scott-Worthington retired and sold the business to Martin Green. Martin is a classic car enthusiast, worked previously for Jaguar Cars, as part of a career across the Automotive Industry. Stuart MacNeill (ex-Jaguar track-feeder) is still in the driving seat, as always a very much 'hands-on', Operations Director. The new Directors are determined to continue the traditional style of service upon which Coventry Auto Components has been built, whilst looking forward to catering for new markets, trends, and services for the discerning XK owner.

Customers are most welcome to drop in, or call us, anytime. Thank you for your continued custom.
