Default In search of door handles. (XJ6 Sovereign)

I just picked up my first XJ6 and 3 of the 4 exterior door handles don't work. I opened up the driver's door and found that the arm on the handle has snapped off. I'm guessing this is fairly common since 3 of the doors are having the same problem. Does anyone know if a good source to get replacements? I'm in Colorado in the US.

What is the VIN and year of your car? There are two distinct versions, early and late. One won't fit the other.

Ebay or a wrecker your best bet, be sure to get the right type.

Alternatively there's a guy in Europe that does these in stainless steel, at least the later ones, you can find details here:

Hi katar83,

I remember those discussions but can't recall whether the gentleman ever emerged on English-speaking forums. Have you had any contact with him since 2017? They definitely look like nice parts!

Cheers,

Don

Yes, he can be contacted on XJ40 forum or if anyone need these and have trouble contacting him there, you can PM me here and I'll get you in contact.
