you word it so much better than me.
as i sed, thats why i us a UK agent. that already supplied parts for mini, MG, 1980s toyota. etc etc etc.
the supply of new parts is hard to do though. as the negative of overseas manufacture, is QUANTITY. i recently had a quote come back for NEW 1 1/4 brake shoes with linnings fitted. £5.65 each inc vat, all import costs, and delivered to my door. thats about the same price as a set of linnings over here.
QUANTITY, 5000. aprox cost £28.250
for a car that on average is 90 years old, and most get very little use.
the result, i dont think id ever sell them all in my lifetime. and my pocket couldnt justify it
never mind, ill keep scratching around for OLD CORRODED ones. that sell for £10 to £20 each.
