Coventry Auto Components Ltd Information

We also offer comprehensive 'TRADE PACKS' that include complete interior chrome, exterior chrome, body seals etc... kit lists, that provide a comprehensive, 'quick check' build sheet for the busy workshop. Coventry Auto Components started by dealing in new factory parts but as these were exhausted, we moved into reproduction.

He recalls with pride being supplied by Jaguar with both a Daimler Limousine and a Series 3 V12 as wedding cars when he and his wife (also a Jaguar employee) married. This was during the early Sir John Egan days when Jaguar was on a roll and just about to launch the XJ40.

The team have been busy developing not only new parts lines, but a revised and informative Parts Catalogue, Special Equipment Performance catalogue, an amazingly detailed Panels Catalogue, glossy company brochure, website, and have launched a very popular e-Bay shop.
