I shipped my newly acquired 2001 S type 3L V6 to Cyprus in 2006 and have jealously enjoyed being the only driver, with no young children, dogs, or food since then. With life in the sun taking it’s toll over the years, I started gradual renovation last year with new headlining and a complete re-spray. New brake discs are to be followed by new suspension wishbones, bushes, links etc.

The problem areas are the internal plastics, which I am told, are a common problem with the early models. I managed to find the long strip that fitted beneath the bottom of the windscreen, but others are proving too hard to find. The center console that runs from the front to back has had the lower section disintegrate into 20 odd pieces. There are no parts available locally and my attempts to glue the bits together before fibre glassing it on the inside has failed. I found a replacement back section with the A/C vents for sale in Texas, but when it arrived, it was not the right colour (can be painted). If this is a fairly common problem with early models, I was wondering if anyone knows if someone has been printing these center console parts off in UK?  I am also searching for both side door opener surrounds and cup holder surround.
