Default Best Sources For Parts

Just purchased a 70 roadster so the project begins.
Engine is seized so will need a complete rebuild after a tear down to assess the internal condition but notice a few missing parts already.
starter
alternator and mounting braket
harmonic damper and pulley
floor pans
Any recommendations for the best sources would be appreciated.

Hi John,
Welcome to the community. there are several sources for parts. SNG Barratt, Moss Motors, Terry's Jaguar parts, and Welsh. Welsh also has a lot of used original parts. I recommend shopping around, and definitely get their catalogs and subscribe to their mailing list. Both Moss and SNG have weekly special that they will email to you. And if all else fails, there is always this site's and other jaguar site's classifieds, and.....Ebay.
Good luck with your project and keep us posted on your progress.
Bill.

Here's a set of links I investigate each time I am looking for a part. My experience is that there is no one best source for parts, and that the prices can vary widely from one source to another, with no consistent low-price leader.

I think it's Monocoque Metalworks and he has a great YouTube channel showcasing his projects.
