how about one of these to plug the hole?

i had some made by Allon Whites to match the interior of my car. Nicely done but probably not the most cost efficient way of doing it as mats go!

Foggy, haven't seen you for ages, wasnt sure whether you still had the car. Probably the last time we met was when i had my T23 and it has been a while since i sold it! Like you, I had been hankering to do a euro tour for some time and finally, last year we did 3500 miles in the Exige. It handled it with excellence but we packed light and had to limit the wine we could bring back. On return, i started to comb the classified for a Jag XKR, have had several jags before, to have in addition to the Lotus. However, after test-driving an Evora, decided that fitted the bill perfectly. More practical, but with the lotus dna that we love!! We are off to Switzerland again in a couple of weeks to drive some more passes. Before you go down the jag route, just check out the evoras as i didnt think storage was as good in the f-type (assuming you are going soft top and not coupe!!) anyway good luck in the car hunt and enjoy your euro tours! Hopefully we will see you on an mloc run even if to show off you jag!! Paul

it certainly takes the edge of the experience, glad its sorted!

the switchable exhaust came with the race pack on the v6s

Afraid not, looked like it was in lots of bits to me! Front clam off, engine in a state of undress, centre console out. Extra brake calipers on the rear!

Thanks to Gav, I now have shiny new braided brake hoses ! Top job!
