Hi,
Currently looking at an M restoration, car has many many parts missing, which will be a challenge ;-)

I seem to remember from past M ownership that the wipers were from a Jag, at least if they were replaced with the chrome options, along with a chrome washer jet, is that a true statement and if so from which model?

Also, what is the motor and mechanism from, anyone know?

Cheers

Many thanks, do you know what type the wiper arms are?

I thought they were from a jag but not 100%

I would think the most important is motor, rack and wheel boxes that give th correct sweep angle.

You know if you find a Wiper Motor and Rack you can always adjust the difference between the Wheel Boxes.
You can make Tubes for the Rack from Kunifer Pipe and use a Brake Pipe flaring tool.

Ah good.

I've been having a closer look myself, they do have some rare parts
