You won't find anything period correct at electric life if that's what your looking for. I have plenty of spare regulators but I am in WA. Switches are reasonably rare for XA, although 1969 Mercury Cougars had the same system so the switch itself is available new as a reproduction and bezels are available secondhand from the US. I think motors and parts to overhaul the regulators are also available new as a reproduction. Being a sedan you will need one master switch for the driver's door which is the same unit fitted to P5 LTDs and Landaus. The hard part is the 3 single door switch bezels which are different to LTD and Landau and therefore reasonably rare. Wiring can probably be converted from the more common P6 LTD (because not all P5 LTDs and Landaus had power windows- it was still an option) but won't be plug and play as the switches changed. Wiring can also be made from scratch which is what I plan to do for my XA hardtop as the wiring was not really up to scratch and most people upgrade it anyway.

Thank you for your reply and sharing your knowledge. Yes, I'm keeping everything on the build as period correct as possible. I'm looking for 2 sets of electric windows for 2 XA sedans. Please let me know what your are happy to part with and how much? I regularly get parts from WA not a prob. Sounds like I will have to get parts wherever I can to complete 2 sets. Yes wiring is not a problem. Regards

Power windows were fitted to EVERY Landau and P5 LTD made.
