I have been in touch with Jaguar Classic Parts and unfortunately they are no longer able to supply them. However as you can see by their reply they would consider reintroduction should there be sufficient demand. If you are looking to replace yours then why not get in touch also.
Hello Sir,
Thank you for the VIN. Unfortunately, Jaguar cannot supply these any longer and hasn't produced them for some time. I feel the only possibility is to search for good second hand or reproduction items (reconditioned if appropriate), from one of the aftermarket specialists.
I am sorry I cannot be of more help in this instance but please do not hesitate to contact us with your future parts requirements. We do log all lost sales for analysis to identify parts for potential reintroduction.
Best Regards

Mike,
We are talking to Jaguar Classic about several things at the moment, one being the production of parts. They seem quite keen to do this and it looks as if single headlights, l and r handed might be on the cards shortly. I will certainly bring treadplates up when we next talk
Cheers
Martin
That's great Martin - if there is anything I can think of I'll add it to your list.
if you are still looking for tread plates, a few have popped up on ebay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-XJS-FRONT-LEFT-RIGHT-DOOR-STEP-CHROME-TRIM-PAIR-TUR-SCHRITT-CHROM/263466556678 (although looks like coming from Lithuania??)
Thanks Kyle
I took a look at those treadplates on fleabay and sadly they were in no better condition than mine. This is a recurring problem as I have found plenty second hand items for sale but they are always just as badly scratched as my originals. Jaguar Classic Parts will be onto a sales winner if they decide to re-manufacture this item and applying a scratch free finish would be the icing on the cake.
