Supplier Overview
SNG Barratt is the specialist Jaguar parts supplier. Based in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, UK, they have built the most comprehensive catalogue of classic Jaguar parts in the world. Where other suppliers carry Jaguar as one marque among several, SNG Barratt focuses on Jaguar exclusively — and the depth of their coverage reflects that focus.
Their catalogue spans the full classic Jaguar range: E-Type (Series 1, 2, and 3), XJ6 and XJ12, XK120/140/150, Mark 1 and Mark 2, S-Type, 420, and Daimler equivalents. For each model, SNG lists thousands of individual parts — from major body panels and engine components down to individual fasteners, clips, and grommets.
A key differentiator is that SNG Barratt manufactures many parts in-house. Their own-production items — particularly body panels, rubber seals, and interior trim components — are made with proper tooling to high standards. This in-house capability means they can maintain stock on parts that simply are not available anywhere else. They also carry NOS (New Old Stock) parts where available and source from other quality manufacturers to fill their catalogue.
Their website features detailed parts diagrams organised by model and assembly, making it straightforward to identify the correct part even if you do not know the part number. Staff have genuine technical knowledge of the Jaguar range, which is valuable when dealing with model-year variations and interchangeability questions.
“For any serious Jaguar restoration — E-Type, XK, XJ, or Mark 2 — SNG Barratt is the first catalogue you open. No other single supplier comes close on Jaguar-specific depth.”
Strengths & Known Limitations
- Deepest Jaguar parts catalogue in the world
- Many parts manufactured in-house to high standards
- Excellent website with detailed parts diagrams per model
- Genuine technical knowledge from staff
- Ships worldwide — UK, US, France, Netherlands facilities
- Clear distinction between NOS, reproduction, and reconditioned parts
- Prices reflect specialist status — not the cheapest option
- Some reproduction body panels require fitting work
- Delivery to the US can take 7–14 days from UK warehouse
- Not all lines are in stock at all times
- Import duties and shipping add cost for non-UK buyers
- Jaguar only — no use if you also need non-Jaguar parts
The pricing point deserves context. SNG Barratt is a specialist, and their prices reflect the depth of catalogue, in-house manufacturing, and technical support they provide. For common service items, you may find slightly lower prices elsewhere. But for Jaguar-specific body panels, interior trim, rubber seals, and chrome brightwork, SNG Barratt is often the only supplier with the part in stock — which makes the price comparison academic.
On reproduction body panels: some items will need fitting adjustments. This is true across the entire classic car parts industry, not just SNG. The important thing is that their own-manufactured panels are generally closer to original spec than third-party reproductions — and SNG will stand behind their parts if something is genuinely wrong.

Marques Covered
SNG Barratt covers Jaguar exclusively. Their catalogue includes:
- — E-Type (Series 1, 2, 3)
- — XJ6 & XJ12 (Series 1, 2, 3)
- — XK120, XK140, XK150

Shipping & Returns
SNG Barratt ships worldwide from their Bridgnorth, UK warehouse. They also maintain facilities in the US, France, and the Netherlands to support international customers.
For US buyers, standard delivery from the UK warehouse typically takes 7–14 business days. Expedited shipping options are available at additional cost. Import duties and VAT exemption apply to exports — SNG handles the customs paperwork, but buyers should budget for US import duties on arrival (typically charged by the carrier). For large orders, the shipping cost per part drops significantly, so many restorers consolidate orders rather than buying one part at a time.
For UK and European buyers, delivery is faster — typically 2–5 business days within the UK, with competitive shipping rates.
Their returns policy allows returns of unused parts in original condition. Electrical components and special-order items may have restrictions. Check current terms on sngbarratt.com before ordering, as policies can change.
How SNG Barratt Compares to Alternatives
No single supplier covers everything, but for Jaguar parts specifically, SNG Barratt is the clear leader. Here is how they compare to alternatives.
| Factor | SNG Barratt Affiliate | Moss Motors | Welsh Enterprises |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Bridgnorth, UK (+ US, France, NL) | Goleta, CA, USA | Steubenville, OH, USA |
| Jaguar Focus | Jaguar exclusively — deepest catalogue | Limited Jaguar (XK series, some E-Type) | Jaguar focused (E-Type, XK, sedans) |
| Model Coverage | Full range: E-Type, XJ, XK, Mk2, S-Type, 420 | Primarily XK series | Strong E-Type and XK, limited XJ |
| US Shipping | 7–14 days from UK, duties may apply | 3–7 days, no customs | 3–7 days, no customs |
| Own Manufacturing | Yes — many parts made in-house | No — sources from third parties | Some reconditioned parts |
| Pricing | Premium — reflects specialist depth | Mid-range | Competitive on stocked items |
| Best For | Any serious Jaguar restoration | US buyers needing XK parts quickly | US-based E-Type and XK restorers |
The practical reality for Jaguar restorers: SNG Barratt is your primary source for anything Jaguar-specific. Supplement with US-based suppliers like Welsh Enterprises or Moss Motors when you need a common part quickly without waiting for UK delivery. For rare or NOS parts, eBay fills gaps that no catalogue supplier can cover.
