THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Hi Tom. Yes, that is the one, the 63-68 S Type appears to be the only Jaguar model with that type of control knob on the heater and rear vent on the centre consul. If you are willing to part with a good one then please let me know how to pay you for it from the U.K. You are so lucky to have a spares...
