Default Jaguar Suffers Storm Damage: Owner needs help.

In a recent wind storm my neighbour's fence blew down, hitting my 2001MY XJR on its way to the ground. Broke the door rear view mirror clean off. A few other minor scratches.
This is the passenger side door mirror on a UK car, so that's the left side as you sit in it.
The car has memory seats option, which means the mirrors have an electric motor to retract flush.
Price from Jaguar is £420 UK pounds for the internal bits, supply only - this excludes the housing, and the mirror glass, both of which are OK. A lot of cash - but as the helpful parts man at Jaguar said, this vehicle cost £50K when new and building it from parts isn't going to be any cheaper - bless him!
I am looking for a good used replacement - can any body help me? If so respond here or PM me.
My neighbour has agreed to pay for the damage (not an insurance claim), so I am willing to fix it myself if we can source a used part. I don't want to ask him to buy new at that price.
Thanks for reading. Happy Motoring.

Munro,

Sorry to hear about the damage. Here's four UK specialist Jaguar breakers you can try:

1. JustJags
2. Jag Breaker Surrey
3. David Kelly Dismantlers
4. Eurojag

A Google search on each of these names will bring up the their websites and contact details.

Good luck.

Graham

You are a true gentleman and worthy of driving a Jaguar.
