George is a great guy and I've bought much from him. One recent change 
though. Take a look at his recently revamped web site at 
http://www.classicr.com and you'll find that he no longer has free standard 
shipping for all orders - just orders over $500.00. Also his discount scale 
has changed, from 15% on all orders to 5%, 10%, or 15% depending on amount - 
the breakpoints are at $100 and $500. He also notes that if you spend over 
$1000 total in a year, he'll rebate an amount equal to the highest discount 
level.
Too bad, but I'm not surprised. Poor guy was probably losing his shirt 
before. I still heartily recommend him and the other suppliers I've used- 
Jeff Zorn of Little British Car Company (http://www.lbcarco.com and Dick 
Burger of the British Parts Connection (http://www.thebpc.com). I like to 
plug the guys who have given me good service. Not trying to slight Ed, Peter 
C., or Paul A. - I just haven't bought from them yet, but would not hesitate 
to do so.
A tip-o-the-hat to them all!
