Mark 2 Air conditioning
Last week in Dallas, I stopped by to see Jim again and we started discussing air-conditioning for the Mark 2. He mentioned that the company that makes the kit that is sold by XKS Unlimited is in Dallas. The company is called “retroair” and this is the link to their website.
The cost for a Mark 2 system w/o installation is $2095 and the installation requires “multiple – minor” body modifications. ugh!!! Does anyone have any experience with this kit?
I know the owner of Retro-Air (Rock Browning) which is a division of Mr. Jaguar, ( http://www.mrjaguar.com ). Rock developed this kit for the MK-2, then the S type, then for RHD cars. The kit requires moving the battery to the trunk, which is the only reason I haven’t bought it! I just don’t want to do that. Otherwise, I’ve heard that it is a very well thought out kit considering the limitations of these cars when running ductwork behind the dash. Rock also developed other accessories for the MK-II and the S type. I’ve bought a few and have not been dissapointed.
