I wonder if this is Jaguar specific or because it was an aluminium monocoque. But I would hope that Jaguar would have something to say about this. Especially since one carrying dick van dyke went up in flames. And especially since i have one and am now a tad worried.

Also < £1k for those repairs sounds very very low.

I'm sure it's a plastic part. The exterior looks fine apart from that small panel. The car looks like an XJ which have small panels on either side of the rear window. http://carsfolia.com/photo/im/jaguar-xj/03/

Ahh for some reason I just assumed XK. My bad. That makes sense then.

I am pretty sure only plastic parts were affected.

Plastic is cheap. Auto parts made from plastic? Not always.
