In all honesty, these days at least the Moss people have a clue as to what c=
ars they sell parts for. Vicky Brit turned into a second rate operation year=
s ago. There was absolutely no one there who was dedicated to the LBC busine=
ss once Long Motors bought them. I pretty much use British Parts Northwest. T=
hey have less inventory but the prices are great, as I assume they buy exces=
s inventory or asset liquidations of shops. I used them exclusively when I r=
estored my first car 28(!) years ago, a Spitfire. At the time the sole propr=
ietor was Greg, and now his son Layton pretty much runs it with a few other s=
taff. They are good people, and Greg started the biz to support his SCCA rac=
ing habit 40 years ago. Of course, while he=E2=80=99s not buying anymore stu=
ff as far as I know, Peter C at World Wide is the best. Check the eBay store=
. The parts he has are typically NOS or old school aftermarket. He is an enc=
yclopedia.=20
