I'm looking for somewhere that commonly breaks P38's so I have a reliable and local source for parts. But I can't seem to find any near where I live (Purley, Croydon, South London).
I find these types of places are typically only known by word of mouth so hoping someone knows of somewhere near me.
eBay random P38s being broken seem thin on the ground at the moment.

Seems the best option is to buy a donor car. There was a complete 4.0 round here that someone had fallen out of love with £800. Wrestled with idea, but don’t have a barn etc. You will make your money back selling the bits you don’t need.

I thought there were a few specialist sellers on e-bay that broke P38's Charles & Charles rings a bell somehow.

The one with the best reputation is East Coast 4x4 in Essex. Not actually Croydon I know, but a very good dealer with plenty of stock.

I'm thinking beach holiday for the family. Oh look, there happens to be a parts seller how, what are the chances?
