Hello PHs

I work for a demo firm and we have acquired some vintage car parts which you can hopefully see by going here: https://imgur.com/a/g4d9drz . We think they're generally Jag / Daimler / Rolls parts.

Rather than selling as scrap we thought they may be good to someone who restores old cars.

Is anyone able to shed some light about what we have here, and the best way to sell them? We're apprehensive about putting them on eBay without being able to give a precise description.

Thanks in advance!

Instead of trying to ID the parts or giving them away on eBay, see if Bonhams would put them in their classics auction as a job lot. Their expert would have a shot at naming a few of the bits for the catalogue. There would be a lot of interest.
