Hi, I'm planning on breaking my 1998 Jag as its worth a bit more in bits. I plan to take off doors, bumpers, wings, interior then sell the engine and box cheap as its high miles but has a superb engine and box. Are there any parts you would advise taking off to sell that is worth while before I get the scrap man to collect the rolling shell? Many Thanks

Judging by my ownership, it's worth keeping the electronic modules in the boot and behind the heel board. Used ones were hard to come by and expensive new.

I purchased an XKR the other year, had hit a tree sideways, I wanted the Reccoro seats, Brembos and HID lights

Striped everything off, have sold most items inc all the straight body parts except for the boot lid, must put that back on eBay
