Default My new source of Enthusiasm

Hello everyone, I am Mario and i live in Barcelona, Spain.
A couple of months ago I stumbled upon a barn find, a almost perfectly conserved Daimler Sovereign 4.2 MK3 from 1979 with some paperwork issues.
I bought it off the guy to save it from being scraped and now i finally got my V5C proving that i am the rightfull new keeper of the vehicle.
The car has covered. 83k miles since new and it is still in a very good condition with original paint and nothing of rust or bad points on the shell.
I am curently commisioning a full service having all the fluids removed and all the filters replaced alongside an exhaustive check off all the parts that can get me into trouble with the ITV(spanish MOT) exam that I have to pass in order to inscribe it as a Historic vehicle.
I need some help in locating a fuel pump at the moment since the original one gave in and the car won´t start for now.
I am also looking for some info and parts to replace the power windows system that is partly missing.
All help and advice will be appreciated and i will keep you updated with all the quirks and issues that i will surely come across until the end of the restoration.

Cheers
