SICP is unloading a lot of merchandise at the moment. My understanding
is that they are getting out of the MG parts business, except for
perhaps MGB. They intend to concentrate mostly on Jag. Those kinds of
deals on Midget head gasket sets won't last long. There are a lot of
rumors going around about SICP's liquidation of products, change of
marketing, financial condition, etc....but of course, you never know
what to believe.
