Default Any XR specialists in the UK?

Hi, I was wondering if there's any dealers or brave souls in the UK somewhere that still sells parts, used or new, for the XR4 Sierra's?

I'm starting a restore/upgrade job on the left one there any time soon but I need a complete interior, seats, doorpanels, the whole shabang, and some plastic bits on the outside.



Cheers!

Try the specialist breakers, such as North Yorks RS Spares as that's going to be your best bet.

Either that or Ebay maybe?

Tell me about it. The solution might be to find a complete car somewhere and strip it. Friggin previus boyracer owners destroyed pretty much the whole interior. Shame, cuz the body is in great condition except a couple of small dents.

Lambchop loves his XR stuff so hopefully he'll throw down some knowledge on this thread when he logs back in.

Xr owners club would be the best place to start looking mate but good luck, the 4i's are becoming very hard to get bits for.

Norway, and yeah it probably would but if I find a mint or atleast great condition, interior anywhere in Europe, I wouldn't mind. Much. There are a couple of cars in Sweden I'm planning to take a look at.

Yep, but if it would prove impossible to find good bits, I guess I'll have to settle with a bastard interior.

They were sold here in the states as Merkur XR4ti... Still a few people sell parts and do upgrades. Ours came with the 2.3L turbo engine.
