From Brian Sherwood: “I recently sent for a certificate for my ’84 XJ-S from JCNA, trying to confirm that several
pieces of optional equipment were factory or TWR options.

1.

You have to send them all the eng/trans/body/VIN numbers- they will “verify” them (?).

2.

Took six weeks to receive reply.

3.

Certificate does not say anything about optional equipment. Doesn’t even say what dealer initially
sold the car.

“Unless you have a collector’s class early car (XK, etc.), save your money for parts.”
