I am looking for MK2 / 340 parts most likely found on a LHD car sold in Europe. The MK2 or 340 with the Borg Warner 35 auto transmission is what I am seeking.

I would appreciate contact information for appropriate European salvage yards.

Thank you.

You don't say where you're located, but it is extremely unlikely any scrap yards in Continental Europe will still have any Mark 2 stuff around. However there is a UK scrap yard in Wales, near Wrexham : -

I used them myself about 20 years ago. Their advert appears regularly in the UK Jaguar club magazines. However, I suspect you'd have to actually go there to get what you want. Their website is just an address, basically.

 

I am located in the U.S.. The parts I am looking for are most likely found on a LHD MK2 / 340. Unfortunately the BW35 equipped MK2/340's were not imported into the U.S.. At least not as I can determine. All the late 340's I know of here in the U.S. are DG250 cars.

I would be interested in a classic Jaguar parts breaker in LHD countries. It is possible that some of these BW35 cars were sold in Canada.
Thanks.

I would love an excuse to visit the UK.

If you're ever over here, I am fairly near to Wrexham (in Crewe), so could probably take you over to David Kelly if he has parts you want.

You'd need to PM me first, of course.

i appreciate the invitation. I am retired so there is no work conflict. It is the other responsibilities that keep me at home.

One day.

I see on the internet that David Kelly is "permanently closed". see link. His web site is operating. Although, I have yet to receive a reply to my e-mail.

if you can detail the LHD MK2 parts you need, maybe I can find them. What I gather is that you are looking for a BW35-transmissioned MK2.

the difference between the DG250 and the BW35 would be in the Shifter Gate, the notched plate mounted on the steering column where the shifter arm rests on each gear.

Have you contacted G. Whitehouse in the UK ? :: G. Whitehouse Autos Ltd ::

 

I understand David Kelly is closing his yard full of fabulous wrecks ripe for parts stripping. He was still operating to reduce his "stores".
