A friend of mine has the gearbox go on her 3Lt S-Type
I contacted some of my Breaker contacts, they just weren't interested

Seems far more brokend comming onto the market than people wanting spare parts
Also even runners aren't worth much so hardly worth the effort to repair

Still plenty of people buying the parts though, especially as I'm not asking scrapyard prices, I hate to break a car that's pretty good but your right they just aren't worth that much in mint condition let alone a bit rough, shame though cus they drive pretty well really and aren't that thirsty compared to a lot of cars

Anyway, good luck on selling the parts
I did the same some years ago with an 2003 XKR

I wanted a sett of Racardo seats for my 1999 XKR
The only way I could find a sett in the correct colour was to purchase a Write off
Found a car that also had Brembo brakes and HID headlights and 95% remainder in good condition
Anyway put the parts I required on my car, sold the replaced parts and most of the remainds of the 2003 to club members or eBay

So in the end more or less broke even
A lot of work though and ended up tripping over parts for some years

How are your headlights?

Mine are badly faded. I know I could fix them with some elbow grease, but if yours are a good price and in good condition...
