Hi
I'm starting to collect body panels to restore my 1975 Jaguar XJ6 Coupe. Anything considered please, new,good used parts for the coupe such as the left hand rear wing/ quarter panel, coupe doors,door skins any boot panel parts or any of the panels at the rear of the car please. Any series 1,2 or 3 saloon body panels considered as most were the same.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Here's my coupe in 1988 before I took it off the road and parked it in the garage. Now the body needs total restoration!!
Sorry tried to rotate the view a few times but each time it then appears upside down??

can't help you with the panels, but I do love XJ coupés.
Pity they never had the money to carry the idea forward. An X300/X308 XJR Coupé would have been great.

Hope youve got deep pockets,keep you eyes on ebay as rear wings often come up for sale but are around a grand now,don,t buy copy door skins as they don,t fit best to repair what youve got.try to steer away from copy panels if you can.

Hi Tortop45.
Thanks for the advise about the door skins and the replica panels. I may be able to carefully repair them? I managed to find 2 New rear quarter panels, but they are both for the Right hand side, so it would be good to find someone to trade for a Left hand side one.... Probably impossible!
Cheers.
