Although I don't have hard numbers, I am thinking the MG/Triumph/Healey
business has to stark shrinking sometime. The number of cars out there to
be restored is shrinking as the cars get restored/parted out/scrapped. The
number of people interested and able to work on and drive them isn't
getting any younger. As I have said a few times, at 59, I can count the
members in my 150 or so member British car club younger than me on one hand.
I hope VB does not go away, they are in my backyard relative to Miss and
TRF. At one time I could order parts from them in the morning and get them
the next day, vs. a working week for Moss or TRF, quite a difference when
you are in the middle of a project. Unfortunately, either VB or their
shippers have gotten a bit slower the last few years.
