Picked up a ton of parts for nothing. Guy even helped me with the telescopic steering wheel issue and how to install the antenna.

 

Looks like the URL on his business card is incorrect/old.
I did a google search and came up with the correct Web site URL:

Glad to see you found someone happy to help, and at a great price.
Seemingly not too many of them around anymore.

 

That's great Marko! A good relationship with a scrapyard owner that has a lot of Jaguars coming in is INVALUABLE.

I have one in SoCal, and the guy specializes in Jaguar, Land Rover and all British made. Reasonable pricing, willing to help, will call if something you are looking for comes in,......priceless!

I have to be carefull though,....I am a "restoration junkie" (whether it's Jags, Rolex, or guns!) and I see so many low miles "junkers", that I can hardly resist to restore them, and put them back on the road. Good thing,... this guy is NOT selling complete cars, otherwise I'd be in a BIG trouble.

 

Danielsand- you are a horologist as well? Very cool.I dabbled in that a little as well.

Another Rolex is on my list of to do's in the next year or so.

 

Get an IWC instead of another rollie
