Default parts old and new?

Just a quick question. I have a Series 1, I may sell it but then I may give it a good going over. I can't have done a thousand miles since I've owned it, Like most it does need some attention, not alot as I've been plodding on with it over the past year.
If I was to go to the final stage of getting it to a show standard where can I get parts apart from good old ebay....????????????????????

Sorry I should have made it a little clearer. I think Concour is out of the question as it have leather interior and a few chrome bits here and there, so just to show it.
I'm after things like fuel pump braket that goes under the car, track rod ends, uprated bushes, track control arms etc. If I was to take the car apart I'd like to replace things like fuse box seals window seals, etc etc.....

What do people buying series 1 that have non original parts think......Are they more likely to walk away, or does it depend on how well the cars been put back together?

I agree. It's becoming more difficult to find original parts tho, Any series 1 owners know where is the best place to start lookng?

I will post a few pics.........I have loads of toys for the car that I've had done or brought over the past year, So I'll get it all together do a little show and tell.
I'm off in the morning to a bodyshop to discuss the life of the S1 so it'll be sell or keep decision tomorrow.

For all you concours boys.....I'll keep an eye out for standard interior cause the interior it has is a little ermmm well max powery???? Nice but a little max powery.

Firstly..........bodywork.

Watch this space I guess.

If anyone does know where I can get parts or suggestions for the car I'm all ears.
