Hi Hans,
Not sure if these are reasonable prices, but here are some parts sources.

Yes, loved the film, but I can't see Norman carrying a authentic J40 under his arm, let alone run with it, as I cannot even lift my J40 on my own.....
Thanks for the links zBret.
The second link doesn't seem to show prices, and the third one refers to your first link, which is the main J40 parts supplier.
The problem there is, apart from the steep prices, that in the way of ordering and paying for overseas customers, the man seems to have stuck in the same era as the cars.
He does not accept any way of internet payment, like internet money transfer or PayPal, only a paper cheque sent by post.
I think if I make such a request to my Dutch bank, they will start laughing.....
So even if I was willing to pay his prices, I wouldn't know how to get the parts. Also collecting is not possible.
Very weird for a trader with an internet website.
I have been browsing internet trading and auction sites and I think my best bet is something like Ebay.
Anyway, the second link I will investigate for prices and payment. Thanks again.
